Chilly Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 John Clayton of ESPN is reporting Vince Young's agent says he got a score of 16 on the Wonderlic not a 6. The more I research the sources that claim he got a six, none seem to be able to verify this 100%, almost every source used a word like allegedly or rumored. However Mack Brown and the owner of the Texans are the ones who seem to be backing the fact that Young got a 16. I smell a rat; I think there is something to the reports of such a low score of 6. 613485[/snapback] The 6 apparently did happen, but the test was administered incorrectly, therefore it doesn't count.

obie_wan Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The 6 apparently did happen, but the test was administered incorrectly, therefore it doesn't count. 614212[/snapback] yeah- Mack Brown had arranged for Vince to have the actual answers in front of him while taking the test, but the test proctor was left out of the loop and had Vince take it without study aids.

dundy249 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 We give the same test to help evaluate people interviewing position for our jobs. You would be surprised. A lot of people score lower than 20... I am not the smartest person in the world and I scored a 43. It is really an IQ test..common sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbillsfan12 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Wonderlic Test From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Wonderlic Personnel Test (often referred to as Wunderlich) is an intelligence test primarily known for being administered to prospective players in the National Football League since the 1970s. The Wonderlic is a twelve-minute, fifty-question exam to assess aptitude for learning a job and adapting to solve problems for employees in a wide range of occupations. The score is calculated as the number of correct answers given in the allotted time. A score of 20 is intended to indicate average intelligence (corresponding to an intelligence quotient of 100; to convert scores IQ = 2WPT + 60). It is rumored that at least one player has scored a 1 on the test. Contents 1 Famous scores 2 Average scores 3 Sample questions 4 References 5 External links Famous scores Pat McInally, a wide receiver/punter from Harvard University who played for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1977 to 1985, is the only player known to have scored a perfect 50. In 2005, it was rumored that Ryan Fitzpatrick, a quarterback also from Harvard, scored a perfect 50, but his actual accomplishment was to finish the test in 9 minutes with a score of 38 — the most impressive speed ever seen at the NFL Combine. Fitzpatrick was drafted in 2005 by the St. Louis Rams — referenced in The Wall Street Journal (September 30, 2005) as the NFL's Smartest Team.
