is not typical
This test is not about IQ
It’s MoCA, baby. Google it.
Bragging about it is dumb and concerning.
Can you draw a clock?
Make the time at ten past eleven
Determine the correct sequence of five numbers and letters starting with A and 1.
Draw a cube
It’s not about how artistic you are.
Identify the camel, rhino, and lion
Name the three objects
Remember the words: face, velvet, church, red, and daisy? We will ask you again in five minutes
Count back from 100 in denominations of seven
Say 742 backwards
Can you repeat three sentences after me in varying lengths?
Do you know where you are:
what city, the date, the time, or are you mildly impaired? What was your score? Do you remember?
