haha! It's a test for "self awareness." She's supposed to try to wipe the dot off her forehead after seeing herself in the mirror. Orcas, gorillas, orangutans, magpies, dolphins all pass this test. Dogs, cats, and human babies do not.

Truthfully, the test seems poorly designed and silly, but that's really what makes it fun :)

Human babies have usually gained "self awareness" by 18 months and can pass this test. We shall see.
