Well, as a defender of the Turing Test, presumably you define "intelligence"
as "manifesting intelligent behavior."  But in that case you can't define
"intelligent behavior" as "the states that make us aware/intelligent."

At some point you've got to get beyond the circularity and say precisely 
what characteristics you're looking for when you decide that an entity is 
intelligent.
