me? you are not retarded if you score below a 21 if that's what you mean

check yours

The average is 24 for quarterbacks with 75% of folks falling within the 31 to 16 range. Anyone within that range would not be considered significantly different from one another. That is 6 points (3 questions) on either side of 24 all in the average range. So Newton is in the lower end of the normal range.

Fortunately, though, there is no strong positve correlation between succes in the NFL and your wonderlic score even at the quarterback spot. As for receiver it seems that there is no correlation either. So both Newton and Peterson would still be in the mix.

Used by a variety of employers, the Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) is a general test of problem solving ability that many consider to be the best measure of intelligence. The WPT provides indicators of an individual's ability to cope with the complexities of any particular occupation. The general consensus among psychologists is that cognitive ability--as tested on the Wonderlic--is the most reliable predictor of an individual's professional performance.

Teams in the NFL have been using the Wonderlic as a tool to assess players for about 30 years, and it is a prominent and controversial test featured every year during the combine before the NFL draft.

The test itself consists of 50 questions that the participant is allowed 12 minutes to answer. The resulting number of correct answers corresponds to an intelligence quotient. Specifically, 21, considered an average score, is equivalent to the average IQ of 100. Higher scoring applicants are supposed to learn more rapidly, master more complex material, and exercise better judgment while lower scoring applicants tend to require more time, detailed task instruction, and less challenging job routines. 25 is the average score for quarterbacks and offensive linemen. Other positions average about a 20.

A breakdown of the scoring looks like this:

50= highest possible score, superior intelligence

21= average intelligence

14= equivalent to unskilled worker

Below 14= moron
