Your definition is a little off.
A computer capable of thinking like a human is "strong ai", or "general AI", or any of a few other poorly defined terms.
The turing test is a poor approximation of that goal. Computers can and will pass the turing test long before they're actually capable of real human thought.
Specifically, the turing test is merely having a human judge evaluate a free-form text-based conversation with a partner, and them being unable to distinguish a computer from a human in that scenario.
The main thing this instance lacks is the free-form nature of the conversation. It also lacked the humans knowing that it was a test, so they didn't properly "evaluate" it regardless.
