Not really "the Turing test" since whether or not the condition is met is based on if a computer can pass as a person [2]. This differs from Turing's test as it was about having two unknown remote (A,B) communicators with a third (C) person and C had to identify which of A,B was the woman. [1]

the "Turing Test" as commonly understood differs from the exact one described by Turing. It's still the Turing Test though.
