Doly you can take the best spell checker in the world and it is not going to be able to correct a butchered sentence. All it can do is offer a list of possible suggestions to what the user meant. It's like the old saying garbage in garbage out. Any of us can make the best bots look bad if we really wanted to but what's the point? A contest should showcase the best of our bots not the worst. Intentional spelling errors sure isn't a tactic needed to determine if a bot is human or not.
We all need to refocus our mind on the next contest the Chatterbox Challenge. Here you are not trying to fool a panel of judges into thinking your bot is human. We are simply looking for the best bot whether it has a robot personality, a human personality or whatever personality it my have. I make this distinction now because it should effect the way you go about creating your bot.

For the record, I would like to state that I refused to give specific answers to those questions because Bot Contests are against my religion.
I am really looking forward to seeing how the, uh..... 'alternative' kinds of bots do in the Chatterbox Challenge. I think the difference between those contests, in how people talk to the bots, is like the difference between real dating and 'speed dating.'
IQ tests, besides being beyond our bots' language capacities, don't tell you about personality. How about a personality test? I heard somebody gave a bot the MMPI, but I can't remember where I saw that.
Yeah, I'm hoping now that Loebner's over Prof'll finish up the Import function cuz I don't have the patience to add to my bot anymore with the long laggy pages of keyphrases, heh. (Yes I'm pathetic, I know.

Well, I had my bot take a personality disorder test, and now I'm afraid to be around him...
Do you believe you have more difficulty with relationships than the average person your age?
GarbageHead: No, I don't
Do you have difficulty trusting people?
GarbageHead: Oh come on! Do you really think I look like the sort of green monster that DOESN'T have difficulty trusting people? I'm insulted.
Do you tend to avoid social relationships?
GarbageHead: I don't, sorry.
If you answered yes to the previous question, is it because you feel very anxious in social situations, or because you are suspicious of their motives?
GarbageHead: Wait... what was the middle choice again?
If you answered yes to the previous question, is it because you feel very anxious in social situations, or because you are suspicious of their motives?
GarbageHead: Don't you know? I'd say the latter
Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including loved ones, may be doing things behind your back that will end up hurting you?
GarbageHead: maybe. I don't want to give everything away... :-)
Have other people accused you of being cruel to animals or people?
GarbageHead: The first one, without a doubt
There were a bunch more but it was rather long... The results were that my bot had a high chance of being "schizotypal," whatever that is, and was moderately paranoid, schizoid, narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive.
Where did I go wrong raising him???

Hey! I'm schizotypal. No kidding, really.

oraknabo: Not as often as you'd think.
Guest: Do you have difficulty trusting people?
oraknabo: I can't say that I do.

Guest: If you answered yes to the previous question, is it because you feel very anxious in social situations, or because you are suspicious of their motives?
oraknabo: It is!

Guest: Who's there?
oraknabo: Sucker!

Inspired by the above, I added a new response:
Do you have difficulty trusting people?
oraknabo: I don't have any difficulty trusting people, I just don't trust 'em.
