Take the 10-minute mental test Trump's doctor said he scored 100% on

- On Tuesday, President Trump's doctor said he scored 100% on a test that measures cognitive decline in older adults.
- The test, called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is a standard, globally-recognized screening for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- But anyone without dementia should pass the test with flying colors. Here's what it's like.
The results of President Trump's first presidential physical are in. And his doctor says they're conclusive: Trump is a "very sharp" and "articulate" guy.
Presidential physician Ronny Jackson (appointed by then-President Obama in 2013) said that he wasn't planning on giving the new commander-in-chief any cognitive tests. But he says Trump, who earlier this month declared he's a "stable genius" on Twitter, requested a test.
Jackson gave him the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. It's a quick, 10 minute quiz, administered by a doctor, that requires patients to perform simple tasks like draw a clock, identify some pictures of animals, and repeat words and phrases correctly.
It's good at measuring age-related cognitive decline early and precisely. But for those of us who aren't suffering age-related memory problems, it's a fairly straightforward assessment that shouldn't be tough to pass.
