I think you've misunderstood the Turing test.

Sounds more like you don't get it.

Also, many primates can understand they are looking at a reflection of themselves when they look into mirrors.

I've heard that chimps can. But so what?

The turing test is simply not directly comparable to a monkey and a mirror. The third participant and the human judgement makes it a different bowl of fish entirely.

So... monkeys can, in fact, spot their own reflection as a reflection depending on the species of monkey. Bonobo monkeys not so much - other monkeys.. yes. As can chimps. And gorillas. Don't sell them short. I've met a gorilla with a 1,200 word vocabulary. I'm not sure some of my students have vocabularies that large. *grin*
