Extremely unofficial Wonderlic scores

These scores are from Edgar Thompson, a writer for some paper down in Palm Beach. He says "NFL source", which could either be an actual source, or his ass.

Unless it's below 10,

I’m not sure if it matters. If it’s below 10, the thing that would worry me is that I’d have to seriously question whether this guy went to his college classes or not, since most of those problems seem to be 8th grade math/logic questions.

It matters. I hate Tebow now. Bradford is the man.

Take those scores with a mountain of salt.

Quick google search reveals the following:

Ryan Leaf – 27
Peyton Manning – 25

Any test that measures intelligence / reasoning and rates those two guys as more as less equal, with an edge toward Leaf, shouldn’t be taken very seriously.

The source is not exactly official, but its numbers matched a few other sites that turned up.

Leaf would have received top scores on the douche bag test...

if it existed, unfortunately this is all we had.

Someone asked the two what they would do after they were drafted and Manning said get to work and Leaf said go party in Vegas, that was the most telling test.

Give me an offensive line or give me death!

Way to go Bradford - that's the highest score an Okie has ever had

Didn't Frank Gore get a 6 or 8?

Not sure. Vince Young scored something around that his first try.

Call it vanity

But I really want to take the Wonderlic, just to see what’s on it if nothing else.

Here are some

example questions. It’s like an IQ test but easier and more focused on speed, I think.

Basically, do you know how to take a test.

Because there are some really easy questions that take 2 seconds to do, and then there are a couple problems where you need to sit down and work out the math, even if it is simple. I can see why it’s not terribly conclusive. If you suck at taking tests (spend all your time on a couple hard questions and therefore fail to finish the test, bombing your final score) you are in trouble. And that’s a skill football players don’t need. Nor do they need to know about if/then statements.

Now with more lemon bars!
