Brief tests for dementia and the expertise of the examiner

What is it about?

Brief global cognitive tests are not "do-it-yourself" dementia tests and they are not conceived to measure intellectual abilities of either young or elderly people (including former or current US presidents https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/07/10/point-isnt-that-cognitive-test-is-easy-point-is-that-trump-keeps-bragging-about-it/). They have specific psychometric properties and the person who administers them can really make the difference.
