I didn’t download the test. I don’t think there is anything wrong with trying little tests like that, but in the end you need a proper evaluation by a doctor no matter what. If the person is elderly, a doctor who specializes in geriatrics should be able to do an evaluation. I would assume any GP can get the ball rolling, and refer you to a specialist if there are any real indicators of a problem.
@Pandora I think asking the date is a horrible assessment question, I don’t work and often don’t know the date. The year and month of course, but not always the date. When I had my accident the date was one of the questions I was asked, and I only knew it for sure because we were vacationing and I had made all the plans, so the date we arrived was hard and fast in my brain. I couldn’t breath well, and they dismissed it as anxiety and I couldn’t breath because I couldn’t breath! I had a tear in my lung. I was always coherent and answered all questions perfectly, but I easily could have gotten the date wrong. They already dismissed my complaint about my difficulty breathing initially, they also wanted to believe I had a head injury because of my vertigo (they made money scanning my brain for nothing!) if I also had trouble answering questions they probably would have dwelled on my brain instead of why I really had vertigo. The hardest impact from the accident was my chest, and I complained I had trouble breathing, and it took them three hours until they did my CT’s. They were concerned about my spine of course, and then they were surprised the xrays also showed the lung tear. No shit sherlock. Idiots.
