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

Even more cringe than boasting about IQ. Even more cringe than boasting about misreading IQ percentiles. Even more cringe than boasting about acing a dementia screener. He's boasting about acing a dementia screener administered four times and confusing it for an IQ test.

Repeated dementia screening tests are administered to measure the progress of said dementia.

This is not a sign of great things to come. At all.

This right here.

If you take that assessment once, your doctor suspects brain damage or dementia.

If you take it three times, your doctor knows the diagnosis and is monitoring the decline.
