Fake-Fat Sunny Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Timing and pressure are two big factors impacting scores (along with difficulty of the questions) and are a key to why the results of the test are often misinterpreted or misused. The scores may have some relevancy comparing one player to another who took the same test in the same circumstances, but lumping the results together or comparing different groups to each other simply does nor produce easily comparable results. An individual may have a particular score because of a particular issue or problem (he can answer questions correctly, but needs time to figure it out. He needs time not simply to get the right answer, but time to eliminate a bunch of wrong answers because he sees more possibilities than the norm because he is bright. He sucks when he judges he has too much time on a test because too many possibilities enter his head and there is little penalty for getting it wrong but a bad score, but actually excels in the game because if he gets it wrong he may get hit hard or he and his teammates will fail). However, this particular problem may be fairly irrelevant to the tasks a player has to use to become a good player. Alternately, the human body compensates for many deficits by using other tools to accomplish the task (his physical reflexes are sharper because mentally he is a hair slow on the uptake- this makes little difference in a test but can make all the difference on the field). A test is a measure on paper, but the game is not played on paper. Wonderlic is a wonderful tool, but it is only a tool. You can have the best drill in the world with the hardest bit, but if your task is to make an omelette your tool is pretty worthless (thought the results may be interesting isn't there some TV reality show about cooking with carpenter's tools).

(You might end up w/ a few metal flakes in yout eggs.) Also, you should never tell a guy his tool is worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound_n_Fury Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 The winless Packers were the "dumbest" team - 19.1. 459633[/snapback] That's only 9% below the general population average...not much of a deficit, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Here is a sample test: http://www.sportsgoons.com/volume3/Vol3_Is...derlic_test.htm Question #7 is the best one. 459657[/snapback] I'd have to go with #11 as my favorite. It's so wrong but so damn funny. 11. A car driven by Cherica Adams is traveling down Grand Ave. at 30 miles per hour, and is 1 mile from the intersection of Grand and 2nd Street. Rae Carruth’s contract killer is in a Mercedes, 3 miles away on 2nd street. How fast does the killer have to drive in order to arrive at the intersection in time to shoot Carruth’s girlfriend and her unborn baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Does anyone know what kind of questions are on the Wonderlic? Any examples? 459651[/snapback] No examples that I can give, but here's an explaination of the test given by the NFL... Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) I've taken it, and it is difficult. Only 12 minutes to get 40 questions done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
