Neurologist Reveals Cognitive Test Used for President Trump — Can You Pass It?

A neurologist has disclosed a straightforward mental exercise that you can attempt from your own home. This test is said to be one that U.S. presidents, such as President Donald Trump, have undergone.

These tests aim to assess your short-term memory, executive function, attention, and concentration, along with various other facets of mental well-being. A low score might suggest a reduction in cognitive capabilities, potentially serving as an early indicator of dementia.

In a clip posted onto the social media site TikTok, neurologist Doctor Baibing Chen - Who is better known as Dr. Bing clarified the procedures of the test so you can attempt it yourself. Addressing his over 118,000 followers, he stated, "This is what a cognitive assessment might resemble for a president."

• Patrick Swayze identified a consistent cancer symptom prior to being diagnosed in his fifties.
• I had to stay in my room with my teenage son's body after doctors dismissed his cancer symptoms as a mere toothache.

Repeat numbers (2 points) He provided five digits for you to recite back. You earn two points if you accurately repeat all of them.

Dr. Bing commented, "The test you've completed assesses comparable areas and functionalities within the brain as those evaluated in certain cognitive assessments taken by presidents. Let me know your score."

The Independent , Trump finished the Montreal Cognitive Assessment with a perfect score of 30 out of 30. Additionally, he reportedly fell within typical parameters in assessments for depression and anxiety.
