The Ehstand Test: Can a Machine Faithfully Continue One Person’s Thinking? Canonical Definition, Score Card, and Protocol (v1.0)
Wie lässt sich prüfen, ob eine KI die Denkweise einer bestimmten Person fortführt? Das Arbeitspapier beschreibt die Fragestellung und einen dafür vorgeschlagenen Prüfablauf.How could we assess whether AI continues the thinking of a particular person? This working paper sets out the question and a proposed assessment procedure.

Abstract.Zusammenfassung (auf Englisch). The Turing test asks whether a machine appears generically human. The Ehstand test asks whether a machine can faithfully continue the thinking of ONE specific person: their concepts, held positions, reasoning moves, transfer, updating, refusals and dialogue continuation. This working paper states the canonical five-sentence definition, the EHSTAND score card, the public scale Ehstand 0-5, the measurement protocol with conjunctive passing criteria, task families with weights, limits, relation to prior work, and rules for name use.
