The Minimum Intelligent Signal Test (MIST) is a variation of the Turing Test proposed by Chris McKinstry in which only binary (yes/no or true/false) answers may be given to questions. The purpose of such a test is to provide a quantitative statistical measure of humanness which may subsequently be used to optomise the performance of artificial intelligence systems intended to immitate human responses.
