President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed to have achieved perfect scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test designed to detect cognitive impairment. However, the test’s creator, neurologist Ziad Nasreddine, has stated that the assessment is intended to identify deficits, not measure exceptional intelligence, and that a perfect score simply indicates the absence of obvious impairment in healthy adults.
