Default COG testing

Any one mandated by FAA to get cognitive testing by neuropsychologist?
To get first class med back?

The only person who had to do it that I know of was Bob Hoover. This was when they pulled his medical.

When he finished the test, they should have thrown out the old answer key and declared that whatever Hoover put down would be the new correct answers.

such testing common now with pilots seeking re-instatement of medical thru the HIMS process. Common reasons: addictions, depression, inappropriate lol behavior, anger management, any arrest! or drug testing FU!
