It's a joke from The Simpsons. I can't remember which episode, other than it was Homer that said it.

When I worked at Verizon, anytime we had an argument, it was to be settled via online IQ test, and everyone had to print their results and post them in their cubes. Maybe we could do something similar here lol

Tracy Porter from the Saints got a 4 on his test 2 years ago. Oh well He just intercepted P. Manning and ran it in for a TD

Everyone, we are talking football here. It's not a complicated game.

The only ones on the field that need to have high Wonderlic scores are the coaches..and they aren't taking the test.

Curious..has anyone seen the type of questions on the test? Are they football related or general SAT type questions?

I know there is a small group of people that believe before you hand someone millions of dollars you want to know if they can handle an algebraic function or understand rock formations.

That's like asking before the heavyweight championship fight, what did the fighters get on their SAT's?

I don't think it is indicative of their true football talent.

I know after the season players prep for the combine with trainers...do they prep for the wonderlic as well?

[Bring Back Kelly]

10 eh? We've got another Leodis on our hands here.

 

Keep in mind that English is a second language for Ducasse and Iupati.

You are so right. Leodis McKelvin, can not speak a lick of English. He's dumber than a box of rocks.

I did horribly because I didn't realize it was timed and read some web pages while doing it. So I did not answer two questions and got a 40...

I agree that the scores don't have to be high, but an exceptionally low score can be indicative of other problems that could translate to issues on the field. Things like general awareness, ability to assess game situations (do I run this kick back or fair catch it?), judgment off the field and quality of the company you may keep.

 

It's not everything, but a team investing in a player with a red flag like this should take some extra steps to reduce their risk.

NFL's success using Wonderlic Test subject to interpretation

By D. Orlando Ledbetter

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

 

__________________________________________

 

The prospects are also given the Wonderlic Personnel Test, which was introduced to the NFL by the legendary Paul Brown in the late 1960s. The test requires the players to answer as many of the 50 questions as possible in 12 minutes.

 

However, three professors -- Brian D. Lyons of Fresno State, Brian J. Hoffman of the University of Georgia and John W. Michel of Towson University -- have published a research paper questioning the validity of the test in the NFL employment setting.

 

The paper was published in a journal called Human Performance in July 2009 and is entitled: "Not much more than g? An examination of the impact of intelligence on NFL performance."

 

__________________________________________

 

“The problem is that the Wonderlic really doesn't evaluate necessary football-related knowledge that you need to perform."

 

Lyons contends that teams could get better predictors on performance by doing more football intelligence-based testing.

 

“You are concerned about whether a person can retain playbook knowledge," Lyons said. "Then there should be tests or evaluations geared toward whether or not a person can memorize plays, memorize routes, schemes and defensive schemes, too."

I think it was the Frank Grimes episode.
