Admiral Dr. Ronny Jackson, presidential physician, told reporters Tuesday that President Donald Trump passed a cognitive screening test that was part of his yearly physical with flying colors.
The test (below) has an overall score of 30 possible points. Dr. Jackson reported that Trump scored perfectly, 30 points out of 30, after asking for the annual exam to include some sort of test of mental function.
If you look at the test, it’s pretty hard to see how you could not score a 30. After all, it asks you to draw a three-dimensional cube and identify a lama and lion. But those who study dementia and other mental deterioration say this test incorporates all that's needed to determine full mental capabilities.
Jackson said Trump is the first president to undergo the memory screening. T
The White House medical team chose the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), which was designed as a rapid screening tool for mild cognitive dysfunction — a loss of memory and clear thinking ability that sometimes precedes dementia.
So... can you pass with flying colors?
