I took one after having brain surgery a couple years ago. Was funny to me for a couple reasons:
I was given 5 words, then after talking to the nurse for a few minutes I had to repeat all 5 words from memory. I told her that I wouldn’t have done well on that pre-surgery. 😅
When I got the “what animal is this” test and told the nurse that I couldn’t remember if a camel or a dromedary has two humps the nurse basically said “I think we’re good here”
My spouse was naturally less amused than me due to the conditions which necessitated the test.
they gave my dad those tests before and after major brain surgery to determine if he was the same him before and after (note: the wizards at UCSF succeeded). they aren’t “hard” per se, they’re a diagnostic. they watch you take the test.
Someone should get a ten year old to do one of those tests and record it.

I thought they were supposed to start off easy.
I’m retired. I don’t have to know what day it is any more!
I work essentially a 6 day work week (4 on 2 off) and my favourite hockey team is in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years.
I genuinely don’t know what day it is half the time right now.

I remembered it from that poem when I was a kid, just remember it IS the other way round.
I took the test, it was so hard, mostly because the questions were so dumb I kept thinking there was a trick to it
I got to the end and was like, that’s it?

Exactly. Which makes Trump’s boast about how difficult they are and that ‘many people here couldn’t pass one’ even more pathetic.
