I agree with charaj00. I might phrase it as an observation rather than a question, ie “I notice different people go thru the questions more quickly than others tho I think Dad is more comfortable with a slower pace. Is there a clinical reason for the questions to be asked at different rates of speed?”

The neurologist always asked the questions until the last visit when the nurse did it. There definitely was a difference, with the dr definitely doing a better job. I feel his neurologist can get a better idea if she does it herself, instead of reading numbers on paper. However, I don’t take these tests too seriously, since I’m with him 24/7. I know better than anyone how he’s doing and what he’s capable of. If there is any particular issues I’m concerned about, I’ll message the doctor ahead of the visit about it. I can also send her a message at other times if needed.

SNK, ask your Dad the questions yourself at the pace you feel appropriate. I suspect you know the answer to this quiz without asking the questions. When my wife took this quiz several years ago, she did poorly. Her situation is now a lot worse. The quiz only confirmed the obvious.

My hubby was to be given a 3 hr test. He got so angry they had to stop.

The neurologists office we have been going to won’t let me in when they do the test. They also never talk to me separately from my mom to get an accurate idea of what we experience on a daily basis at home. The way they assess my mom is, in my opinion, a joke. How can they assess her in 15 minutes and no meeting with the caregiver? Makes no sense.
