Tux of Borg Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I don't know why this subject keeps coming back up. Once again the University of Miami is leading the way with the lowest scores. Yet, the 'U' will produce a large number of the 1st round picks this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac_Man Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I wonder what the correlation is between a player's Wonderlic Score and his chance of success in the NFL. I know the Patriots like their players smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical TBD Guy Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 It actually depends on the position. 294206[/snapback] For some reason, offensive linemen traditionally have the highest average Wonderlic scores among all other positions. Anyone know why that might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why that might be? 294324[/snapback] They're usually very large, intimidating fellows, repulsive to most women and therefore seldom invited out. Splitting their time equally between masturbation, devouring buckets of fast foods, and watching the hot anchorwomen on CNN, they channel their sexual frustrations and resentments into anger, girth, and an above normal awareness of the world around them. That's for all my old OL buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I think he just answered your question LA.... 294631[/snapback] In a roundabout way, I guess. Frankly, I was surprised to see how stupid the questions are. On the other hand, what was not explained is exactly how many questions there are on the test and exactly how much time they have to answer them. They could be the simplest questions in the world, but if there are 100 questions and you have 10 minutes to answer them, you know the test won't get finished, etc. That's probably a bunch of crap, but nonetheless I find it hard to believe that THOSE are the questions and these guys still get a bunch of them wrong. Alternately, I've also been amazed how many people here have a hard time completing a full sentence and yet figured out how to access the internet.

Only 1 person in NFL history scored a perfect 50- Harvard graduate and Bengal Punter Pat Mcinally. What blows my mind is many of those questions are multiple choice and you are not penalized for wrong answers. Frankly anyone that scores a 6 on a wonderlic is illiterate. Hell I just scored a 15 on that ESPN wonderlic and that test did not take me 2 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Three questions come to mind when wondering about college players that score poorly on the wonderlic.... 1. How the heck did they stay academically eligible throughout college? 2. How do they understand complex NFL offensive & defensive schemes? 3. Is there a correlation between "bad" character players and players who score poorly on this test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 IT'S LITTLE WONDER With the draft rapidly approaching, the controversial Wonderlic test is once again in the news. While the amount of weight given to Wonderlic results varies from team to team, Giants director of counseling services Dr. Joel Goldberg doesn't like the test one bit - at least for football players. "I don't think it's necessarily used well by the NFL," Goldberg told The Post. "I've still never seen a validation study that correlates success on that test to success in the NFL." Goldberg continued to point out that most football learning is accomplished through repetition and has nothing to do with the cognitive skills that are measured by the Wonderlic. "That doesn't show how well someone will perform on a football field or how quickly they'll learn," he said. "I wouldn't pay any mind whatsoever to the results." For those interested in the results, the only confirmed perfect score of 50 was posted in the late '70s by former Bengals punter/receiver Pat McInally, who - no surprise here - attended Harvard. However, one only has to look at 49ers star linebacker Julian Peterson, who only scored a five out of 50, to see that the results don't always correlate to NFL success. Among the locals, Tiki Barber (30) and Michael Strahan (28) fared very well, while Jets counterparts Curtis Martin (18) and John Abraham (16) had a more difficult time with the Wonderlic. Tom Brady (33) and Ricky Williams (30) both scored pretty well on the test, while new Giants receiver Plaxico Burress posted only a 15. Interesting little blurb from the NY Post. Curtis Martin seems like one of the smartest running backs I have ever watched, as a football player. He got an 18. Julian Peterson got a 5. Rickey Williams a 30. Hmmmm...
