The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a test that is usually administered to adults or the elderly who one suspects might have a memory or character disturbance (13). This test requires the use of a pencil, a watch and some sheets of paper. The maximum attainable score is 30. A compiled score of between 24 - 30 could indicate a psychological decline in cognitive function of little importance. On the other hand scores below 24 can denote cognitive disturbance much more severe as the score decreases.
