In reply to the discussion: Trump again boasts he 'aced' cognitive tests - and reveals which animals he was required to identify [View all]Historic NY
(39,577 posts)42. I was given several tests when rehabing from a cardiac arrest.
They were trying to determine brain function as I was out for 9 minutes. I had the one in the video also. Drawing lines was the hardest since I had shakes from breathing treatments. They ran a number of video interactive tests to determine brain function and responses and reaction time. A lot of those were for driving. I can say they were shocked about reaction time, that it was well above the normal range. It was old muscle memory, from 40+ yrs of firearm qualifications hand/eye coordination exercises.
The naming animals is a PIA a minute is a long time. Start with domesticated and barn yard ones first.

OP
Digital generation can't read or draw a clock. Or use letters when dialing a phone. Or. Will have to redo the tests.

These tests are only given to people who are suspected of having mental issues. The more doubt, the more tests.

I'm good with animals. Whenever I see a picture of Trump I always think horse's ass.
