Topic: MMSE
Subject: Medicine
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) tests for:

A. Mood

B. Behavior

C. Intelligence quotient

D. Cognitive function

Correct Answer : D.


The MMSE is most commonly used in clinical settings. It is considered valuable because it assesses a broad range of cognitive abilities (i.e., memory, language, spatial ability, set shifting) in a simple and straightforward manner. In addition, the wide use of the MMSE in epidemiologic studies has yielded cutoff scores that facilitate the identification of patient with cognitive dysfunction.
