A simple personality test could be used to detect the very early signs of Alzheimer’s, scientists claim.

Symptoms of mild behavioural impairment (MBI) – a condition which experts believe can predict the onset of dementia – could be diagnosed through a checklist, experts say.

Mood and behaviour changes happen before the typical memory loss issues of dementia patients and could indicate early stages of the disease, researchers believe.

And by filling out the questionnaire, doctors would be able to identify if people are headed in the direction of the devastating brain disease, according to Canadian experts.
