Are you a stable genius too?

Take the 10-minute mental test Trump's doctor said he scored 100% on
17 January 2018

Donald Trump, as we all know, is a real stable genius.

So it came as no surprise to any of us that he, apparently, scored 100% in a test that measures cognitive decline in older adults.

It’s called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and is a recognised standard screening for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s - and if you don’t have these conditions, then you should be able to ace the test. Residential physician Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson said that he wasn’t planning to give the President any cognitive tests, but that Trump requested to take it.

It takes ten minutes - can you get through it? Have a go and find out.
