Joe Biden said that he is "constantly tested" for his cognitive skills. The only people I can think of being constantly tested for cognitive skills is someone with dementia/Alzheimers or brain damage.

Have you been/are you being tested for cognitive skills? If so, why?
 
They tested my IQ in high school and gave me a range. My cognitive skills are still tested regularly by me. When I get up in the morning, I determine whether or not I can be duped by a stupid orange game show host today. If the answer is ever yes, I think that involuntary commitment is in order. The answer today was still no, so I'm good.
 
:inandout: (Intentional bait and **** show thread in the making.)
 
Really, you want to go there?

We share the same cognitive skills test. Always happy when I am not alone. :lol:

"Constantly" is a terrible word choice. I think "periodically" or "routinely" make more sense, and I immediately thought when I read this question of those whose cognitive skills are tested following a stroke and those with some brain tumors. So I Googled:

Impaired memory functioning can arise from a variety of internal or external factors, such as depression, stress, stroke, dementia, or traumatic brain injury (TBI), and may affect an individual's ability to sustain work, due to a lessened ability to learn and remember instructions or work-relevant material. Examples of tests for learning and memory deficits include the Wechsler Memory Scale (Wechsler, 2009), Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (Sheslow and Adams, 2003), California Verbal Learning Test (Delis, 1994; Delis et al., 2000), Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (Benedict et al., 1998; Brandt and Benedict, 2001), Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (Benedict, 1997), and the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (Rey, 1941).

The article also mention children applying for disability because of developmental delays. Some of the article subheads: Cognitive Testing in Disability Evaluation, Language and Communication, Learning and Memory, Attention and Vigilance, Processing Speed, and Executive Functioning

You assume he was referring to the administration of an actual test? There are other definitions of the word tested. I would think being asked such a question by a fox reporter at a press conference would be one example of being tested. And Biden didn't even call him nasty. I think he wins that exchange.

I actually have the best humor. People come to me and say, "Helix, you're so good at humoring; you should do it for a living." The best humor people say that, believe me.

Sure. I was born in the morning - but it wasn't THIS MORNING.

Pretend that I painted myself orange and yelled "you're fired" 500 times. Then you'll probably believe me.

Well the test he gets, is the same one trump boasted he aced last year. It part of the standard check up for seniors. Trump the Stable Genius had no trouble with the test of his brilliant cognitive skills thereby reassuring the world of his intellectual prowess.

Can you match their outstanding performance?

I had to be cognitively tested (and a few other things) in order to qualify for my current job. It seems a reasonable requirement if we are going to depend on someone's mental acuity and capability.

Well, maybe, but it would pertaining add ammo to my thesis of your declining jokester skills.

This is a Canadian test for mental ability, there is a flaw in the basic plan

My birthday comment remains in effect. :lamo

The test used is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. It was developed in Montreal and is used in over 200+ countries including the US. You could call it a global standard in testing for early stage alzheimers. Its the one that Trump took.
