Test the Wonderlic on Yourself

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

Based on the number you answered correctly within the time limit on the sample WPT, you could project your score on the 50-item test like this:

9 correct= 50 4 correct= 22

8 correct= 44 3 correct= 17

7 correct= 39 2 correct= 11

6 correct= 33 1 correct= 6

5 correct= 28 0 correct= 0

The one you posted was way too easy. 9/9 with 30 seconds to spare.

I got a 35 on the other one.

"Aside from the combine, which tests NFL prospects' physical abilities, there are also mental tests that applicants must undergo much like any other job's selection process.

The Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) is a 50-item, 12-minute exam that talent scouts administer to future NFLers in order to test their intelligence.

The resulting score is the sum of correct answers; 50 is the highest score, while 0 is the minimum score.

According to a report in the Denver Post, a score of 21 is considered average intelligence, 14 corresponds to the intelligence of an "unskilled laborer" and anything below that means the prospect has two brain cells playing tag.

The average score of an NFL player is 19.

Within those 12 minutes, NFL-bound athletes can ultimately lose or gain thousands of dollars as their stocks rise or fall, all because of the prowess between their ears.

Positions like quarterback, offensive line and fullback have higher expectations for scores than other positions because of the mental demand associated with them...."

Hummm, offensive line has "higher expectations". Too bad we have to add a Wharton Wonderlic PLUS a Gamble Wonderlic to equal say ... a Vick Wonderlic :-(
