AOC hasn't taken a cognitive test because she doesn't need to. He doesn't realize that every time he brags about passing the cognitive test he reminds us all that he's super fucking old. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago Reminds me of Sheldon Cooper saying "I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested" permalink fedilink source parent [–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) I've aced cognitive tests, the ones to see if you're a genius, not to test for dementia.

(You will be asked to repeat them immediately after the test-taker gives them to you, and then again later, toward the end of the test.) Count backwards from 100 by seven. You also may be asked to calculate using currency, such as determining what change you might expect from your $20 bill if you were charged $13.55. How many words can you name in one minute that start with F? (Or you might be asked to name words that fit a category, like fruits.) Identify animals from pictures (such as a zebra or tiger). To test your visual perception, you may be asked to identify objects drawn within a jumble of other objects. Or, you may be asked to draw a picture (such as a cube) based on a drawing shown on the test form. The "clock test"—common in many dementia exams—is part of the MoCA dementia test. The test administrator will ask you to draw the face of a traditional (non-digital) clock, as well as to illustrate a specific time. Your ability to think abstractly may be tested by asking you to determine the relationships between objects—for instance, how trains and boats are similar to each other So yeah... we have a president who is bragging about being able to draw a clock and tell you that trains and boats are both methods of transporting people. JFC we are so fucked. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) 3-7 seem like anyone can do it, the first depends on the amount of time it takes. I might forget them after a few minutes of thinking of other questions. 100 counting down by 7's should be easy, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't do something like 100, 93, 86, 79, 72, 65, 58, 51...

If you fail to subtract seven, realize your mistake, and correct it you have already passed the test. People with dementia will either start to count down by the wrong amount, start counting up, stuff like that. You are testing whether they can abstract verbal instructions and maintain a consistent train of thought while performing trivial calculations. Counting down on your fingers one by one and only saying every seventh number would be considered a perfect score once you make it to about 63 if you don't lose track of what you are doing or start forgetting numbers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Okay so I wanted to try the fruits to see. It says 8-12 fruits gets you 1 point, 13+ gets you an extra point, less than 8, 0 points. (1 minute to name them) So I started pretty easy and then started questioning myself: Let's say watermelon, orange, tangerine, peach, strawberry, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, blackberry, blueberry, apple, jackfruit, mango, lime, lemon... But I didn't think of lemon/lime immediately, my brain started saying use Tomato and Cucumber as they both hold their seeds internally so they are "fruits". I get that they would likely count but when the pressures on, I imagine I could still fuck up something like that haha permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago None of that matters.
