As someone who works in psychiatry and frequently administers cognitive tests, his comments are hilarious.
The hardest question on the ACE-III is getting someone to remember a name and address for about 15-20 minutes whilst you get them to do the other tasks - mostly repeating sentences after you, naming objects, following simple two-step commands and other things which anyone without dementia should be able to do just fine.
“Aceing” the test is just doing things that pretty much anyone without cognitive impairment should already be able to do.
My favourite part was when he was bragging about remembering ‘person, man, woman, camera, tv’ when those would absolutely not have been the words in the test. The word list will always be unrelated things (like daisy, piano, horse, book, etc), since related words would defeat the purpose.
He was obviously just naming things in his field of vision at the time. It’s such a weird thing to repeatedly boast and lie about.
Nah, he’s just a liar. He said that at a press conference where literally everything in his view was either a person, man, woman, camera, or tv (well, plus the podium, but that’s a big boy word).

Sounds like a MoCA. Face, velvet, church, daisy, red are the usual 5.
I wonder if whoever administered the test was overly generous in the marking of it 😂
