Inventor Of ‘Gold Standard’ Cognitive Test Suggests Biden Should Take One

The inventor of the ‘gold standard’ in cognitive tests suggested Joe Biden should take one as the controversy surrounding the president’s mental ability continues to swirl.

Questions over Biden’s mental decline soared above the fold of partisan fodder last week and can no longer be pinned on him just being a forgetful public speaker.

Special counsel Robert Hur concluded in his report that Biden did not remember when he was vice-president or within “several years” when his son Beau died.

Biden responded to the report by getting angry and shouting at reporters, claiming his memory was fine before then mixing up the leaders of Mexico and Egypt.

Canadian neurologist Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, who invented the ‘gold standard’ of cognitive tests, told the New York Post that all ageing politicians should take it.

“It’s a good thing that we assess cognition the minute there’s any suspicion about cognitive function,” said Nasreddine.

“If the test shows normal results, the likelihood of impairment is very low. Then everybody is reassured that this is maybe just normal aging — that we can all be forgetful and make mistakes. But it doesn’t mean that there’s a significant cognitive disorder happening,” he added.

Nasreddine suggested it was hard to tell cognitive impairment from conversation alone, therefore taking his test was key.

The test “features 30 questions administered in 10 minutes and instructs patients to identify animals and copy an image of a cube, among other challenges,” reports the NY Post.

Donald Trump famously took Nasreddine’s test in 2018 and bragged about his stellar result afterwards.

Trump recently responded to Biden’s obvious early-onset dementia by demanding cognitive tests for all presidential candidates.

Democrats are panicking to replace Biden after he twice claimed to have recently spoken to political leaders who have been dead for decades.

The White House tried to dismiss the mistake as “normal,” but one ally told the Telegraph that his recent press conference performance was “the worst day” of Biden’s entire presidency.

Meanwhile, despite a poll finding a whopping 86% of US adults believe Biden is too old to complete another term, the media is still desperately running damage control.
