“It was 30 or 35 questions. The first questions are very easy, the last questions are much more difficult.”
As long as Slow Joe is allowed to read the answers from a teleprompter, he should be able to get at least half way through it. I am not sure about the repeated words segment that could be tricky for him to keep his place.
When will Nan and Joe take the test?
It’s my understanding that this is not a pass/fail test. The results place the test taker in a spectrum. Dementia stages may be numbered, as to how many correct/wrong you have.
I heard Trump got all correct.
Joe Biden ain’t getting within a mile of a test like this.
The beautiful thing about tests is they’re kind of like sports
You can’t fake it
I’d love to put Trump on stage with Biden or any other Democrat and just ask them the same question and see how they answer
Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump is sharp as a tack
I think they are talking about the Montreal Cognitive Test. You can get it on line but heard it may not be available to public after Sept 2020.
New medicare recipients get a brief cognitive question in our annual exams.
3 words, asked to recall a few minutes later. If you’re not paying attention, which I wasn’t, it was easy to miss. I got 2 correct, and came close on the third.
Now, I’m on the alert and pay attention, but 3 words is infinitely easier than
the one DjT took and passed.
I’m sure the Dr. is correct....most people don’t get ‘em all right.
Well duh. The test isn't given to people until there is a real belief that they suffer from dementia. It's used to confirm the diagnosis so it's not surprising that most don't pass. Any person with normal cognative abilities will not only ace the test but will do so without any problems.
Unless there are two are Dr. Ziad Nasreddine's then either he's saying two different things to two different people or one of the quoting him. - The doctor behind a cognitive test Trump took says ‘it’s supposed to be easy’
This reminds me of a brief test of math, grammar and spelling that temporary agencies used to give me for secretarial positions. I always aced them but just thought they were very simple token type tests and couldn’t understand why the agencies were so effusive over my score.
However, many years later when I was in the position to hire someone, I got the test scores back from about a dozen applicants, none of them aced it so I hired the person who only missed one question, and she was brilliant. She had been a data entry clerk. I hired her to manage reporting from Excel which she had never used before. I showed her the basics and she picked it up and was able to deliver very sophisticated reports in very short order.
I know I wouldn’t pass it.
My short term memory, especially remembering People’s names went bye bye after my first round of Chemotherapy fifteen years ago.
I also have a lot of “it’s on the tip of my Tongue” moments.
Oh well, I can still remember Song Lyrics from the 60’s. LOL
List of words to remember:
obama, benghazi, death, ambassador, coverup.
or:
hillary, email, server, illegal, scot free.
or:
biden, feelemup, where, am, I
If the test is so hard that most people with normal cognative skills have a hard time passing it then how can it be used to diagnose dementia?
