Lord #TrumpVirus the "stable genius" is now spouting off challenges to compete with him for cognitive clarity.
As long as he can choose the 'test'; so his opponent must be prepared to out-do a 'perfect' ID of woman-man-person-camera.....
What I know from decades of teaching, researching, and doing cognitive assessment is that "thinking" is multi-dimensional and that people do have different patterns of strengths and weakness; some are better at spatial reasoning & memory, some are verbally oriented. Some can plan and see cause/effect, others don't do so well. Some grab concepts quickly, verbal &/or nonverbal, others no.
So I'm left pondering how the guy with "all the best words" would do on test of word use and conceptual reasoning.
On one of the earlier Wechsler (IQ) tests, a favorite item (no longer asked) was: "What does this expression mean: "Shallow brooks are noisy". I would love to see Drumpf's answer! (Or on any item tapping 'concept formation' or categorization'.)
Of course I smile at the thought of his taking any sort of formal thinking / 'emotional' / 'projective' test. I'd do the testing for free!
I'm pretty sure one of the old classics would end up like this.
