H2o Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I guess that he's really bright as well. Stafford scored a 38, Sanchez a 28, and Freeman a 27. To put this into comparison, Matt Ryan scored a 32 on last year's Wonderlic and Trent scored a 28 back in 2007. Michael Oher helped himself by scoring 19. That's average, but some were questioning his overall intelligence. Hakeem Nicks only scored an 11, Percy Harvin a 12, DHB had a 14, and Maualuga a 15. The one it hurts the most probably is Rey. If guys are fast, can run routes, and catch the ball they don't have to be the MOST intelligent player on the field. That should be the guy getting them the ball. In Rey's case, he is playing a position that requires him to be a leader of the defense on most occasions. If he is inept to process information mentally then it could cause his stock to drop.

The Dean Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I guess that he's really bright as well. Stafford scored a 38 For what it's worth, so did Ryan Fitzpatrick (supposedly, Wonderlic scores are not, officially, made public).: Fitzpatrick took the Wonderlic Test. Highly divergent reports about his performance have appeared in the media. A draft commentary on the NFL's official website reported that he made a perfect score, while setting a speed record by completing the exam in nine minutes.[1] According to a The Wall Street Journal report that appeared in the September 30, 2005 edition, Fitzpatrick scored a 48 on the exam, not a 50; this would still be considered an exceptionally high score, and the claim that he completed the test in nine minutes is accurate. While his actual score is unknown, he certainly did not record a perfect score, as he has been quoted admitting he left at least one question blank.[2] As the Wonderlic score is the number of correct answers to 50 questions, the best he could have scored would be a 49. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Fitzpatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damj Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 A score of 20 is intended to indicate average intelligence (corresponding to an intelligence quotient of 100; a rough conversion is accomplished via the following formula: IQ = 2WPT + 60 ... so a 38 is about an IQ of 136, which is in the 99th percentile ...

JPicc2114 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I dont know if any of you are aware of this.. but a 38 is not only in the 99th percentile of football players but it is in the 99% of everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPicc2114 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The scores for the average person While an average football player usually scores around 20 points, Wonderlic, Inc. claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate . Furthermore, when the test was given to miscellaneous people of various professions, it was observed that the average participant scored a 24. Examples of scores from everyday professions included: * Chemist - 31 * Programmer - 29 * Journalist - 26 * Sales - 24 * Bank teller - 22 * Clerical worker - 21 * Security guard - 17 * Warehouse - 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Somebody needs to run the numbers and see if the Wonderlic correlates to anything. Well as others stated, peters was an 8, Losman I think was a 13, and then retook it and got like a 19. You really don't want a QB with a below average score.

Fingon Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The reason the Wonderlic has lost much of its predictive ability is because players are trained to take the test. It doesn't test how smart you are anymore, just how well your agent prepared you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
