He said he took the test "recently". When? Why was he given the test? A cognitive test is not routine.

I think hed just say he asked for it to silence his critics. But idk, certainly worth asking since he loves to ramble about it. He might spill something good!

(36,926 posts)Seems like he's had it at least 2 times, last probably in November 2019. First may have been sometime in 2018. Repeating this test means they're checking for further cognitive decline. And nobody can believe he ever "passed" the test, without seeing a photocopy of his test protocol, which only he or a legally appointed guardian can release.

(14,649 posts)There is a reason they'd order one. It's highly unlikely he did as well as he's saying.

(3,469 posts)If someone is showing signs of dementia, you might give them this to establish a baseline so you could track their decline with subsequent tests. Even if he "passed" this initial one, they would note in his chart that he struggled with the "harder" questions at the end. A "good" score doesn't mean you're not in decline, especially if you struggled to get that score.
