Best Answer

Touching the tip of the nose with the index finger, often with the head tipped backward slightly, is a typical neurological test. An impairment prevents the finger from touching the nose with one purposeful action. Gestures such as this mean different things depending on your location. The test can be used:

  • as part of a first aid evaluation, such as immediately after a head injury, by a trained coach, nurse, paramedic or physician
  • as part of a neurological work-up by a physician or neurologist
  • as part of a sobriety test, conducted by a police officer.
