I was the care giver for my father who had Alzheimer's and I did extensive research on this subject. I myself go for a memory test yearly and I have never heard of any test for mental characteristics. How would any doctor even go about giving such a test? This is something a family member might notice over a long period of time, perhaps over several decades.
I had to think back over several decades to the way my father would react to various subjects. This is how one would develop a hypothesis. One would begin by gathering similar observations of others.
