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
(39,575 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.
