It's a widely used screening for early onset dementia. It has questions like, "draw where 11 is on this clock", and "Which one of these is a lion".

It does not get harder as you go along. It's the kind of test you're supposed to get a perfect 30/30 on, like an eye test. If you get 25 they send you for further screening. He is proud of this test, so proud that it's like he has the certificate up on his bedroom wall. Proud enough to feel superior to other people because he took it and almost got a perfect score.

This man is allowed to make decisions on using nukes. Isn't the world wonderful?

Yeah, it's a super blunt tool. Only detects when things are really off kilter. I've had stroke patients who are missing large parts of their brain score within normal range on it.

Biden taking it, btw, would be fucking terrible politics.

It would be akin to Elizabeth Warren taking that DNA test

All nuance about her story gets thrown out the window, Trump doesnt even hold up his side of the agreement (money to charity), and the news cycle continues pushing forward to the next trump scandal because thats how things work with this presidency

To be fair, the "nuance" got thrown out the window when Warren thought a DNA test would qualify her in any way as a member of a native tribe

Regardless the moral is to not engage with Trump on these tests, when hes still refusing to share things like his tax returns. He wont keep his promises and will just use whatever comes out to try to stick a label on his opposition

A 74 year old with dimentia, yes. A mentally health 74 year old, no.

It's not a test they just give you out of the blue once you turn 70. It is something they give you when they have suspicions of greater issues or if they know you just suffered something likely to impair cognitive function (like a stroke).

The fact he is taking the test at all is a bit of a question mark.

The whole point of the test is that it isn't supposed to be difficult if your brain is functioning correctly. The average person isn't supposed to have difficulty with it. If someone doesn't pass the test it means they have a serious medical issue

Also it's worth noting that this test is pretty routine after someone has just had a stroke, and Trump admits that he took it during his mysterious late night trip to Walter Reed. Not hard to figure out what happened

The memory one might be tricky depending on the context they gave it. If they told me I would be asked again in 5 minutes, I absolutely would commit it to memory without issue. However if they didn't give me that heads up, I wouldn't bother because I wouldn't see the point.
