Poor Turing must be rolling over in his grave. The so-called Turing test was common before Turing wrote his rebuttal, calling that test little more than a Gallup poll (i.e.,just a subjective opinion). He proposed an alternative test, the real Turing test, that could provide statistical evidence. In his test, observers tried to distinguish between a woman and a man pretending to be a woman. This was repeated as often as you wanted to gain statistical significance. After that, a machine is substituted for the man and repeated as before. Turing claimed if the machines and the men had the same success rate, you should conclude the machine was thinking.
