Last week,PresidentDonald J. Trump has suffered its annual physique. And yesterday, his doctor,Dr. Ronny Jackson, published the results, some of which, namely, to be 6'3 "and would have weighed 239 pounds-Define an internet frenzy. But next to the physical exam, Jackson, at the request of the President ("He asked me to include it so that we did," the doctor told reporters at a press conference). also a mental review.

This examination, theCognitive Evaluation of Montreal, or Moca, is a 10-minute 30-minute questionnaire that is widely used to detect, according totest materials, any form of "soft cognitive decline". Dr. Jackson said: "This excludes the need to do any other cognitive evaluation". So, what does Donald Trump Score?

Thirty for thirty years.

After learning that 45 acid a cognitive review available to the public, a thought slipped into my head: couldIAlso, Ace La Moca? On the one hand, I find standardized tests to be extremely stressful and that stress has led to scores less than perfect over the years. But on the other, it is surely graduated from a college of 25 years, I am at least as hard as a septuagenarian whooften shuddered the world with his Twitter account.

I had to know.

So I caught the only colleague with the game to lose 10 minutes on my neuroses,BENSHOSAN OF APRIL, from our sister site,Eat this, not that!And asked him to administer the test for me. (For what it's worth it, you do not need to be a doctor - or have any medical qualifications of any kind - to administer the test.) I told him that the results could cause me potentiallyextreme Public embarrassment.

"Yes," she says. So we started. The results were ... Well, see for yourself. And if you are looking to stimulate your own cognitive performance, make sure to check the20 simple ways to improve your memory.

The first question is immediately out of kindergarten: it essentially connects the points (with a torsion). Instead of drawing a line between a strip of points, you must draw a line between the numbers and the letters in an alternative and ascending order. So you go 1-A-2-B and so on, throughout the 5th. I nailed it.

Score so far: 1/30

For the second question, you have to draw a cube. All eleven lines must be present, the drawing must be three-dimensional and each line must be "relatively parallel" and similar length.

"Does it look good?" I asked for April.

"Of course, yes, it does not matter," she says.

Score so far: 2/30

The third question requires you to draw a clock fixed at 10 years. You have noted three parts: the outline (it must look like a circle), numbers (you must write every 12 digits) and the hands (the time of the time must be shorter than the minute hand and the hands must be centered on the clock). I wear a watch every day, so this one was easy. Not that I had to take a look at my wrist to get this question right ...

Score so far: 5/30

As the first question, the fourth question istoo All right out of kindergarten! The test administrator points to three animal drawings and ask what each animal is. The first drawing is a lion.

"Lion," I said.

The second drawing is of a rhinoceros.

"Rhino", I say. For test instructions, this is an acceptable answer.

The third drawing is a camel.

"Dromediary", I say. For test instructions, this is an acceptable answer. (See, the drawing was a mono-Hump camel, and camels with omoles are known as dromedaries. I wonder if Trump knew that.)

Score so far: 8/30

You can not receive points for the fifth question; It is an introduction of the tenth question. The administrator reads five words. Then you have to read them. For the tenth question, after five minutes has elapsed, you must recite the words again, in any order.It is When you get your points - one for every word correctly recalled.

"Face. Velvet. Church. Daisy. Red," said April. (These are the words provided by the MOCA.)

"Face. Velvet. Church. Daisy. Red," I said, followed by "boom".

Score so far: 8/30

The sixth question is divided into four parts. For the first part, the administrator reads numbers 2, 1, 8, 5 and 4 aloud. You have to repeat them in order and you have a point if you are right. For the second part, the administrator reads 2, 4 and 7 aloud. You have to repeat them inreverse order, and you have one point if you are right. Then things get difficult.

For the third part, the administrator reads a series of letters aloud. You have to type your hand every time you hear the letterA. The authors of the MOCA, however, have structured this question soAs are frequently followed byJs. I will confess: Ialmost slipped several times.

For the fourth and final part, you must, from 100, subtract several times 7 and tell the number aloud until you reach 65. So: 93, 86, etc. If you do it at 72 (or of course, up to 65 years old), you getThree points.

Score so far: 14/30

The seventh question is classic "repeat after me". The administrator reads two sentences. "I only know that John is the one to help today" and "the cat always hidden under the couch when the dogs were in the room." For each sentence, you repeat correctly, you have a point. At this point, I kill him.

Score so far: 16/30

For the eighth question, a minute is put on the clock, you have a letter (F), and you must name as many words as you can at this minute. If you get 11 or more, you have a point. The appropriate names are prohibited. As are the numbers. And you can not use the words that "start with the same sound, but have a different suffix." (The test quotes "love, love and loving" for example.) In the interest of complete and total honesty, I must admit that my passage of this question is kept at best. In the first 17 seconds, I said 12 words. For the remaining 43 seconds, April and pleaded if I passed or not. Here are the words:

Amusing.Tasty.To free.Intrepid.Anchoring.Picky.Fifteen days.Adjust.Fork.Violin.Popular.Strengthen.

If you have not caught it, three of these words start in the same way.Fork,fifteen days,strengthen. At the end, April and I agreed thatfifteen days andstrengthen started in the same way but thatfork does not have (because of theK) Do not hesitate to have your own opinions, though.

Score so far: 17/30

For the ninth question, you must explain how two sets of two objects are similar to these. You have a point for each correct answer. The first pairing is "train and bicycle".

I went out, "these are two essential forms of public transport for the navigation of a dense urban -" before April stopped and gave me a point.

The second pairing is "Watch and Rule".

"They both measure things."

Score so far: 19/30

"Church. Face. Velvet. Red. Daisy." (Easy. I mastered the10 ways to develop a photographic memory.)

Score so far: 24/30

For the last question, you must name the day, the date, the month, the year, the place (as in: "Better life Seat "), and the city you are in.

Score so far: 30/30

As you can see, this test is notexactly SATS. With the exception of a minor disagreement on the eighth question, I traveled each question. And chances are, if your brain has the power to treat words and images, you will also drive it. (And take it from me: you will feel very presidential.)
