Wonderlic Sample Test


If you've never heard of the Wonderlic, it's an exam given to players entering the NFL draft every year.

The Wonderlic is an exam comprised of 50 questions. Players have 12 minutes to complete the test. The average score (out of 50) is a 21.

Vince Young made headlines last year when it was rumored that he scored a 6. As we all saw in 2006, the Wonderlic doesn't mean much. St. Louis' Ryan Fitzpatrick scored a 50, and he's nothing more than a backup quarterback.

Some sample scores of other players include: Drew Bledsoe - 37; Steve Young - 33; John Elway - 30; Dan Marino - 16; Deltha O'Neal - 15; Donovan McNabb -14.

DON'T CHEAT!!! Post up your score and what you missed.

I answered 18 out of 20 right. My score was a 45. Not too bad, for a girl. :gapteeth:

I missed #11 and #18.

Awesome. I got a 40/50. April is month #4 and August is month #8, both being 4 months away from the New year if that makes sense. But I see now why August is the right answer. I said April on that. DIdnt see the pattern in the alphabet one either. owell

daaaaam, McNabb got a 14...... :tisk:

You beat me fair and square, Bex. Well done. I got 17 out of 20 for a 42.5.

I missed 4,10,and 18. But if Greg can blame his monitor, then I wish to blame my bifocals, which I wasn't wearing. I didn't see the difference between that period and comma. :chuckle:
