Wonderlic Test
I’m not a big fan. Guys like Dan Marino and Vince Young scored low. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Leaf did really well. At the end of the day, I think it proves nothing.

I scored really well. But my 40 time is in the 7s.

Scootie, you ripped Tebow for scoring 22. I’m guessing you’re going to be mean to Jahvid too?

I am, actually. I am going to be mean to them all, because it’s just pathetic that the best combine score was a 34.
Honestly, the Wonderlic is about thinking quickly and keeping calm under pressure. I am just amazed that these guys, at least some of whom must be intelligent, cannot keep their shit together for twelve minutes to solve simple, simple problems. Seriously, how do they ever pass a midterm?!?
In the off chance that you are serious...
…I think the athletes are smart enough to realize that their future employers will most likely not put too much emphasis on a random test that they can’t prepare for that has nothing to do with their chosen profession.
12 minutes taking a test will not affect their draft status while 4.4 seconds out on the field…just may…I wonder what they prepare for…

Although I do feel I must say — one of the things I was ripping was Tebow’s 22 in light of his 3.66 GPA. I don’t have his academic records, but I’d be surprised if Jahvid got 2 A’s for every B in his Cal career.
I’m guessing the curriculum at Florida is slightly, uh, less difficult.

Eric Decker would’ve scored ten points higher if he hadn’t gotten hit by Cattouse.

Has anyone consider looking at the players’ collegiate grades as a measure of their intelligence?

Naw dude, that would make too much sense!

Seems to me that Jahvid is doing decently for a halfback.
Average Wonderlic scores for halfbacks are set at 17…
This assessment roughly corresponds to examples from Paul Zimmerman’s The New Thinking Man’s Guide to Pro Football. According to Zimmerman, examples of average scores for each position are:
* Offensive tackle – 26
* Center – 25
* Quarterback – 24
* Guard – 23
* Tight end – 22
* Safety – 19
* Linebacker – 19
* Cornerback – 18
* Wide receiver – 17
* Fullback – 17
* Halfback – 16
And other social averages seem to suggest that he would be proficient in sales:
While an average football player usually scores around 20 points, Wonderlic, Inc. claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate. Furthermore, when the test was given to miscellaneous people of various professions, it was observed that the average participant scored a 24. Examples of scores from everyday professions included:
* Chemist – 32
* Programmer – 29
* Journalist – 26
* Sales – 24
* Bank teller – 22
* Clerical worker – 21
* Security guard – 17
* Warehouse – 15
So basically, scraping by as CJ Spiller did, he`s still apparently literate.
Marcus Vick scored an 11 on his test.
Gotta love that southern education.
Also, the test seems to suggest that Jahvid`s Intelligence Quotient is 108…
Using the formula IQ = (2WPT + 60), Where WPT is Wonderlic Personnel Test.
I need scissors! 61!
