LOL, it’s stupid.
They give you a blank sheet of paper and tell you to draw a round wall clock (face type clock) with the numbers in the right place and put the hands on a time. My time was 11:10. You have to be able to accurately draw the clock and remember the time she says to put on the face of it.
As soon as she hands you the blank sheet of paper, she rattles off three words for you to remember and then she starts talking, and talking, and talking. These are generic words like fence, vision, and lighter, or something like that. They are nothing that means anything to you and will be easy to forget.
It’s like somebody calling out numbers while you are trying to count. LOL
She said you wouldn’t believe how many have drawn a digital clock and put the numbers on it.
It’s the government way to see how senile you are or if you are. They want to see if you can still focus and remember I guess. It’s another money wasting government project.
Like I said, stupid. The sad thing is that a lot of high school and college kids wouldn’t know how to draw the clock but they are worried about us.
“As soon as she hands you the blank sheet of paper, she rattles off three words for you to remember and then she starts talking, and talking, and talking. These are generic words like fence, vision, and lighter, or something like that.”
The trick to remembering the three words is to think of a sentence to use them in.
Something like, “Many waste their time sitting on a wooden picketed fence, lacking the vision to see the true problems in the world, not knowing the picket is halfway up their ass, and thus we would all be better served by taking a lighter to said fence.”
I’d rattle off the sentence and then simply say, “Fence. Vision. Lighter” when asked what the words were.
But that’s just me.
Haha - and I thought that sort of thing was only done to nursing home residents. At least old people. Nursing home is the only place I’ve seen such stuff, anyway...
