My understanding is reading comprehension and reading speed, or skipping the essays.
One of the guys (former player-turned-analyst) on ESPN mentioned that the Wonderlic was
really slanted against guys with even mild reading disabilities. The Wonderlic is broken up into 25 paragraph form essay problems, and 25 math problems. Even the most intelligent college grads can wind up spending too much time on the front half of the Wonderlic, so if you add any reading disablilities, you're pretty much [censored]ed.
The key, so I've heard, to the 25+ Wonderlic score is to completely skip the essays, go straight to the back and tear through the 25 math problems, then go back and knock out 4 or 5 of the longer questions with whatever time you have left.
