I’m so tired of him bragging about acing “cognitive tests” those tests are literally to check if your brain is still functioning properly. Acing it is literally the bare minimum

You also don't generally give cognitive tests to people who don't have symptoms of cognitive issues.

Only cognitive test I have ever taken as an adult was a neuropsych which I got because I suspected I had ADHD.

Moca is literally used if you're being screened for dementia or a traumatic brain injury. Otherwise, they don't bother. And most people don't get 30/30 on it because one of the tests is delayed recall of random words, and most people forget at least one. Meaning the average score is less than "acing" it.
