Javascript: Human verification, with custom questions

Question

I'm having trouble determining the correct term, for what I'm about to describe. I hope someone will know what I'm talking about and can give me the correct terminology.

I have a generic form that lets the user enter a name, number, and an e-mail. I would like to implement a form of "captcha-esq" verification. Server limitations prevent me from using something like Google's reCAPTCHA. I would like to implement something similar to what can be found on a wordpress site using javascript.

The user would have to correctly answer 1 of 3 random challenge(questions) in order for the form to successfully submit and notify me. If the response is incorrect, the form should not submit the data. ie. Q: Do pigs fly? A: No Q:What's 2 + 2? A: 4 Q: A PB & J sandwich, without the PB is what? A: J sandwich

Hope this makes sense.

You can't make a captcha purely client-side. The only thing that will stop is people, not bots. — Alexander O'Mara, Jun 30 '16 at 23:31
Hi, you don't get to edit your question to remove all the text. The correct thing to do is make sure your question is good enough before you ask it. — JK., Jun 30 '16 at 23:43

The correct terminology for this would be "Bot prevention". Although "anti-spam" is also widely used.

The original question asked for the blanket term for this technology. Why the downvote? – James Monger Jun 30 '16 at 23:37
Thanks James; welcome to the internet. I'll remove the question to save your rep. – snapplex Jun 30 '16 at 23:38
