Wonderlic test (Merged)

is it supposed to be taken fast, like taking a glance at it and making your conclusion? Because if i atleast had a piece of paper and pencil, i would have gotten them all. In my head with a few minutes to think, i could get atleast 13.

. One of the number figures in the following drawing is most different from the others. What is the number in that figure? <INPUT maxLength=5 size=5 value=5 name=q6>

This was crap. #5 is the only one without a parrallel side. I guess I am too used to more complicated answers. I realized later that #4 was the only one without 4 sides. I think too much. Got all the rest right. So much for becoming a Bengals punter.

I would argue that #5 is the correct answer on the grounds that the other four figures not only have opposite sides that are parallel, but that the parallel sides are in the same positions in all four figures (top and bottom). I, too, guessed that number 5 was the correct answer, and I stand by that assertion. You could obviously make an argument for #4, but any good editor should throw the question out, or at the very least, alter one of the four-sided figures with parallel sides to make the sides parallel at some position other than top and bottom (such as rotating #2 90 degrees to the right).

I took this test last year, and also gave it to a few of my co-workers, it gets harder the farther into it you get. You only get 12 minutes to finish the whole thing and none of us managed to finish but we did do fairly well, the two medics I hang out with both scored slightly above average with a 23 and a 27, both have only limited college training.. My score was higher but I do really well on tests so I expected that.. but yea.. a six? I am going to send the test to my little brothers who are 16, 14, 12, and 10.. I'd guess that all of them except maybe the 10 year score better than a 6. He might beat it too..

I actually had to take this for a job interview once. I scored a 30 but only finished 36 questions. One question really held me up it had to do with how many mini skirts I could make if I had x amount of material and x amount of time

I am not sure but I think I passed this test around a couple of years ago, maybe that is where soldier got it.
Yes it is 50 questions and you only have 12 minutes to do it.
I also took it for a job interview.
I did not finish, I figured they wanted correct answers not speed and I was told I got just below 40, 39?, right.

Seeing players get in the low teens or single digits tells me that our colleges are in trouble. No way you should be able to graduate, or make progress for that matter, with such low scores.

That being said you have to expect the NFL uses this as a two issue test.
Are the prospects smart enough to understand our offensive and defensive schemes and do they possess some form of logic, possibly to keep them out of trouble.

The sad fact is there are people close to being legal idiots making millions of dollars a year.

I never allow myself to be held up by a question on a test. If you cant' answer immediately move on to the next question and come back to that one later if you have time.

Wait a minute!!! Are you telling us that student-athletes are more athletes than students??? I am SHOCKED, repeat SHOCKED, to find out that these guys are at school for athletics rather than for education... and I am appalled that these many fine institutions would allow this to happen!

No, wait...nevermind. This shit has been going on for years. As I recall, James Brooks (former Bengals' RB) came out of Auburn illiterate. This type of stuff is not a new or shocking development. We all know that a significant portion of these "student-athletes" would not be in college if it were not for playing sports.

In my day I was on scholarship for a Div I football team.
We had tutors and grad assistants help us and many players girlfriends did their homework. I saw tests students may have taken before they took them.

Coaches were known to escort players to class and check their homework to keep them eligible.
I am oh so aware of the state of the college athlete.

So I guess what you are saying in MoC told the truth?

My point is there is scraping by and just being fucking stupid. If you are physically gifted enough to play ball but not the smartest guy that is OK. If you are too fucking stupid to finish a complete sentence then you do not belong in college.

I have only known a few Auburn players but one was a award winning lineman that sold industrial products after a brief stint in the NFL. Nice guy, dumb as hell but people bought from him based on the glory of an old war eagle. Most of the non football Auburn engineers I worked with were pretty smart guys.

My intent certainly was not to offend anyone. If I happened to Bucknola, I apologize. My point is that it has become very obvious that many athletes to do not play sports for a college so that they can get their degree. They go to college to play sports.

I guess I am just a little bitter about the fact that I worked my butt off in and out of the classroom and I still had to pay for most of my own education. It didn't matter what my gpa was when they were awarding scholarships each year. It's just frustrating to me that some people aren't willing to work as hard as they should to get the education that is provided for them. Let's put it this way: if there weren't academic eligibility requirements, how many of our football players would have above a 2.0 gpa?

Also, the Auburn crack was intended as a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor. I know very little about the academics there, but I am sure there are many very intelligent folks attending Auburn.
