11. I went through this and discovered I wouldn't get my results unless I paid some money.

I did not sent any money, so I passed the test.

20. There have been complaints about that site scamming people

Two choices only - 1) click on free trial - which somehow can't be cancelled when the time is up- or 2) click on SKIP FREE TRIAL(large print) - and get subscribed and charged instantly (the last part in small print).

4. I'm afraid of results. However, similar "tests" I've taken on-line always end up with "pay" or "subcribe" for results.

6. No this one had no trap layups at the end

It was shapes of things to select, number of lines, boxes, triangles, circles v squares, etc for a given sequence. Quite interesting..

7. I have taken the SAGE test for dementia a few times

First as a baseline several years ago and I gave a copy to my primary care doctor as a baseline. She had me retake it in the office as it’s supposed to be a timed test. I don’t see that in the instructions, but what do I know? Since I’ve turned 65, the doc has me draw the clock with hands at 11:10 and memorize three words as part of the annual Medicare wellness checkup. Before I turned 65, I’d retake the SAGE test every few years.

A few years ago my siblings and I were worried about our mom’s cognitive decline and we each took one as group family activity so she wouldn’t think we were singling her out. We scored each others’ tests. She had mixed results. Now she’ll turn 95 next month and the decline is accelerating. She still knows who we are but her short term memory is pretty bad. That being said, if I live that long, I’d be happy to have the health she does.

It was developed The Ohio State University. There are 4 versions that all have the same components. The link to version 1 is below. The answers are not available to the public (I swear they used to be!) but if you are of sound mind they are fairly obvious.

8. Thanks for this

No dementia on the maternal side but on the paternal side, the aunt who died at 95 didn’t even know her children and the one who reached 89 was getting there.

9. My Doctor Dismisses All That Stuff

He said after the first 5 seconds, he knows if he should be concerned.
If he is concerned he'd do the screening, but he thinks it silly at my age, especially since there is no baseline & no family history of senility.

12. Yeah i did an IQ test

It was so full of shit.💩

It said my IQ was 160 something. I decided those test were rigged. Anyone who has read a lot of books and who knew the references could get a high score. I did work in Reference in the college library for 4 years.

17. SATs, GREs, most standardized tests were like that when I took them.

My scores were so high I knew there was something wrong with the tests.

How'd I do?

14. Wait wait

Are you Jeffrey’s bestie?

[chouchou]

15. I took one. They thought I was a special-needs Dog.

[malthaussen]

16. Nope. Not interested.

My last doctor's exam, though, they had me do a cognitive test. Pain in the butt, really, my short-term memory has always been atrocious.

18. I did a test that was linked above and did pretty well

Until it came to the geometric shapes. Maybe next time I'll try it before I have two glasses of Chardonnay.
