4. Un f-ing believable. It's pretty clear he's talking about the MoCA. It's 30 pts (not 30 questions)...

...and he doesn't even report the animals right.

For sure no sharks.

See below for Gemini's explanation of possible animal variations. (Take with whatever grains of salt you apply to all AI).

And those difficult "last five questions"?

They are NOT five questions. It's one question that is scored up to 5 points for delayed recall. That is, remembering some or all of five words/objects that are conveyed earlier in the test.

"Cognitive Test" certainly does not mean what he thinks it means (BTW, Princess Bride is on my all time favorite list). As I think we all know, it is a screening test for dementia. It is not, as he obviously thinks, an intelligence test.

According to AI (Gemini)

No standard version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) includes a lion, giraffe, bear, and shark in a single test.

The standard naming section in the most common versions of the MoCA (such as Versions 7.1, 8.1, and 8.2) uses the following three animals: Lion Rhinoceros Camel

Animal Variations in Other Versions:

While the "Lion, Rhino, Camel" set is the standard, some alternate versions or older, less-common versions have featured different animals to prevent practice effects. For instance, one version has been known to use a giraffe, bear, and hippopotamus.

Shark: A shark is not typically found on standard MoCA tests.

Elephant: Some variations, notably one shown in a 2020 news report, have included an elephant instead of a rhino.

Here is one of the versions of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) commonly used:
