Do you know if you have dementia or Alzheimer? This simple test could tell you.

Do you know if you have dementia or Alzheimer? This simple test could tell you.

Alzheimer's is an incredibly debilitating disease that often is associated with old age. People who suffer from Alzheimer's have a difficult time remembering where they put things, crucial details of their lives, and even the faces of loved ones. It's unfortunate, but at this point in time there is no cure.

Luckily, there is an incredibly simple test that can be done in order to test someone for Alzheimer's, or certain types of dementia. The test involves three sets.

The person must draw a clock, put in all the numbers in the correct spots, and set the hands of the clock at ten past eleven.

Participants are scored based on their ability to draw the clock as a circle, all the numbers being in the correct order, numbers being in the proper 'special' order, drawing two hands on the clock, and drawing the correct time on the clock.

The test is given and scored, to test people's abilities to process information and instructions, and their general cognitive ability and how they adapt to certain scenarios. For more information on the Clock Drawing Test, click the source!
