This afternoon the president’s physician, Navy Rear Admiral Ronny L. Jackson, said that the president “did exceedingly well” on a test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, reporting a score of 30 out of 30.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment is a 10-minute test. It’s one of the commonly used screening exams for dementia. The questions on the test vary in difficulty, but they include:
Six points for knowing the date and where you are.
One point if you can identify what a train and a bicycle have in common, and another for watch and ruler.
Three points for correctly identifying pictures of a lion, camel, and rhinoceros.
Another point if you can repeat the phrase “I only know that John is the one to help today.”
Another point if you can read the following letters: FBACMNAAJKLBAFAKDEAAAJAMOFAAB.
Three points if you can draw a clock that indicates the time “10 past 11.”
