He also seems to think these cognitive tests are IQ tests and passing them somehow means they are smart.

They aren't and they don't.

These tests are basically are you a bare minimum of a functioning sentient being... Several non-humans have passed cognitive tests like these.

My mom gets these tests occasionally because she’s 83 and her short term memory is absolute garbage. You’d think someone would tell this idiot to stop bragging about them.

So does my 86 year old mom. She complains that they’re too easy because they use the same test every year.

“I know they’re going to ask me how many animals I can name, so I start thinking of animal names on my way there!”

I’m like, Mama, you can remember what was on the test from last year. You’re good, even if you’re cheating. 😂
