Just wait until your insurance company gets a hold of this test and starts making it mandatory or creates a version of it that you take as part of a poll for them. They will try to drop you like a rock when they find you failed..

Interesting. The TV show Grey's Anatomy used this test in a story about a clinical trial to treat Alzheimer's. It appeared simple enough and yet, we saw the progression when someone just could not remember the three simple words like car. There was not clock drawing, though. Nordbird63, the health reform act forbids insurance companies from dropping subscribers for medical reasons. Of course, in a universal health care system this will not even be a question..
