During her trip to New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital on Monday from the assisted-living facility where she has been forced to live, the 60-year-old former talk show host was evaluated by a psychiatrist.''

And on Monday, sources told TMZ that Williams received a perfect score on a 'capacity test' administered by the psychiatrist. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to a representative for Williams for comment.

According to the sources, Wendy was administered a 10-item questionnaire that was designed to determine her awareness and decision-making abilities, and she scored 10 out of 10 on the test.

Although one test alone doesn't give a full picture of her mental capacity, the fact that she passed the test with flying colors may indicate that she is far more aware than her guardian has indicated.

Williams had previously been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.

However, sources clarified that the exam Williams underwent was not to dispute her dementia diagnosis.

However, the results of the test will reportedly be shared with the judge who has been overseeing her guardianship.

In recent weeks, Wendy has been making an effort to speak to the press to make her case that she has improved and should be able to manage her care — and money — on her own.

Williams PR push is set to expand later this week when she is scheduled to make her first national television appearance since her dementia diagnosis. 

It was previously reported that Williams' visit to the hospital was preceded by NYPD officers visiting her at her assisted-living facility to perform a wellness check.

Sources told TMZ on Monday that Gina Monterroso, a caretaker who is independent of Williams' guardianship, had allegedly ordered her trip to the hospital and the cognitive test.

It's unclear if Monterroso is an employee of the assisted-living facility or what her immediate connection to Williams is.
