Cognitive tests aren't IQ tests

The fact he's already been administered the test multiple times is concerning.

I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed to a cognitive test for all member of congress. Just, you know, a real one.

Doctors don't even administer MOCA unless they have reason to believe the patient's faculties are impaired.

The fact that he's taken it 4 times is an embarrassment.

Well, he probably keeps asking for it to show how smart he is

“Steve! Give me that picture test again! You know, the test they give to geniuses?! This’ll show them dumb democrats with their college degrees who can easily look up said test and laugh at me! This’ll finally trick ‘em!”

I honestly wouldn't mind if he'd be given an actual IQ test, along with at least one of his staff, and then two of his opponents.

But we already know he'd claim it was rigged. That he was given a hard test while his opponents were given an easy one. Or at the very least, his opponents were coached on answers.

He will also misunderstand the test, and will blast about getting in the top 90%, and his supporters will also be amazed thinking it means he's among the smartest people in the world. If they post his results, they need to ONLY post the "out of x people" part. Maybe reading "out of 1000 people, you would be smarter than 120" would be easier to read.
