Short-term memory is thought to be located in the hippocampus, and yes, damage may be seen with an MRI. The appropriate scan for the other things you mention would be a PET scan. Gullibility and naivete can’t be seen on a scan, nor can IQ. A psychologist can administer tests to address the personality and cognitive functions you mention.
