Exactly people comparing this to SAT is just dumb. It’s not an Intelligence test, it purely measures processing speed of your brain which you can’t learn or get better at, maybe marginally.

Yeah, people are confusing it with what the Wonderlic test is.

I’m sure you can understand that if you were practicing taking the SATs or ACTs or any random test since 9th grade… studying and then taking it every year all the way to your junior year of college you might have an advantage over those seeing it for the very first time?

So what? I would be good at take SATs.  Ok.  This is a negative somehow?  This is totally irrelevant IMO.  Just say you like CJ more no need to try to discredit Young being good at these tests

Why should this bother anyone?  He is very good at it since high school.  This doesn't discount anything.  

Yeah I dont get it.  I doubt the questions are the same each time.  Its like someone taking the SAT 4 times to get a 1580.  Still a helluva score any way you slice it.  And good on him for actually preparing for what he knew would be an important part of his overall evaluation.

While that score is very impressive, hasn't he taken it a ton of times before (If I remember hearing that correctly)? If that is the case, I think that would help lead to getting a higher score since you know what to expect, as opposed to taking it for the first time.

Im not sure thats exactly how it works. There are definitely limitations to how fast someone can process things regardless of doing the test multiple times.  Im fairly sure its randomized and the examples ive heard were things like 5 shapes flash up and one is different in some way and how many tenths of a second it takes you to recognize the different one.   Its almost a measure of impulse.  I know it takes a specific computer setup and network to make sure there is 0 latency to measure the tenths of a seconds or even less accurately.

Folks, this is a performance-based test---taking it may familiarize you with the context, but not really the performance.  It is about processing speed, the way I understand it, not memorization or intelligence. 
 

Why not say, "Of course his 40 time is good--he has been running it since high school!"

If you are going to criticize the test, understand exactly what you are criticizing.  A better argument would be that they have 1 version of the test and Bryce has taken it so often, he knows the sequence....but there is no indication that is the case.

Let's try not to engage in dumbassery here.

The test doesn't have questions as far as I understand it. I'd call them 'exercises.'

The people who want to discount him will use it to discount him.  Discount any positive and constantly talk about his size.  Anything positive is a smokescreen and if hes the pick its because Tepper made the pick.   Same ol song and dance, I don't think im forgetting anything.

My long term loss of short term memory would equal an easy flunking of this test.  No matter how many times I took it.

Another angle to him “practicing the test since freshman year of high school” is that he’s been treating his football career like a professional for a long time. 
 

That’s good news to me.

Bryce Young has a brilliant mind.

This is a good example but a bad example at the same time. If you run the 40 yard dash daily, you will get faster at it to a point. Better technique will get you faster. Better body conditioning will get you faster. There are things you can do to improve at it. I'm not sure how one would improve at the S2 specifically.
