I watched my grandma take this test at 80 something. She did good on parts of it.

But the clock? She got the circle. But she bunched up the numbers and the hands. She knew how to read a old school analog clock, had helped me learn when I was a kid.

Because she was in the room and thought she nailed it, I didn't get a chance to know what that meant. (I also can't rule out she was gaslighting after because she was an decades long gaslighter extraordinaire)

I chalked it up to her eyesight at the time, as she was also slowly going blind.

Anyway... my point being, even knowing the analog clock isn't enough to pass this part.

Was it something like this? I don’t have the time or willpower to find more links but I think there’s a sliding scale of this effect.

It is much more likely that it was dementia related which looks different on the clock drawing test compare to a hemineglect. Often times there are to many numbers, not on the right places, outside the boundaries etc.
