Hey, did anyone ever hear what Jamarcus' wonderlick score was? Got to be low!!!!!!

[HitStick]

I think it was average. Remember, JaMarcus is lazy and indifferent, not so much dumb.

Google did and it's average.

[D-Tre]

Well this thread flopped.

[agular9]

i think i remember it being pretty dang low... the kid is not too bright. obviously.

[raider07]

he scored a 24, which is not bad and higher than Gradkowski's 19. Like somebody already said, his biggest problem is work ethic and laziness not intelligence.

At this point, really, does it matter...

What happen to all this, "Welcome to Jamrock...," crap?

We all know who and what we are dealing with...

It is, what it is.

Did it? I got my answer didnt I ? And to boot, found out he scored higher than Gradkowski, which is a little shocking. NFLN said 24 on the wonderlick is the average for Qb's in the league. Not all telling, but interesting enough.

What was your wonderlick score? This info was available before we drafted this stiff.

EFPLFP: Wonderlic Test
I got a 44 but was rushed.....only to find I had 40 seconds left when I finished...oops

As stated earlier, 24 is the number.

I have taken the Wonderlic for work/interview... It's quite easy, when you evaluate the questions themselves, but more difficult when you add in the TIME factor. 50 q's in 12 minutes.

2 or 3 out of 5 questions (or so) are ridiculously simple.

-Something like what is the 18th letter of the alphabet.

1/5 would qualify as NOT HARD, but need to take a minute to calculate...

Such as: At a speed of 75 MPH, how long would it take you to drive 60 Miles? (Not hard at all, but you need to do a bit of math.)

And then, you do get ones that are somewhat hard. (usually dealing with Mathematics by the way.)

Now, I could come up with the right answer on 100% of the questions on the Wonderlic... But 12 minutes get's tougher than you think.

The NFL wants to see QB's not just answer right... They want to see you make a decision to "Pass" on working through the one that require lengthy work. (It's an aptitude and decision making test mixed).

I got a 36, and didn't even get a chance to read questions 39 through 50. I got two wrong from simply moving TOO fast through them (again time pressure)

I also was stupid and did not use the option to "Pass" on answering a question... which would have helped me get to at least 5-8 more Q's

Of the 12 minutes, I probably spent 5 or 6 minutes on answering 4 questions alone.

If I had passed on those, I would gotten significantly higher.

Wonderlic scores (in My opinion) should be judged like so:
SCORE RANGE:
40 to 50 (Well read, good math, very sharp... Don't go overboard and proclaim GENIUS.. It's not that kind of test)
25-39 Solid. Read's at a normal level, works through problems at a slightly above average or average pace.
15-24 interesting score. Not a kiss of death, but I would like to see if they got a lot WRONG or simply didn't get to them
10-14 Great concerns over the test takers comprehension and reading ability.

0-9 would suggest to me some sort of learning disability or severe lack of standard education.

Useful info?

Good link... Thanks for posting.

I will tell you that this is not necessarily a perfect example.

The 9 question "sample peek" they give was completely devoid of the questions that go into ratios, return on investments, etc... Basically the general mathematics questions.

You would be surpised, but the "smarter" a guy is, the more likely they are to get hung up on those questions.

Why? Because they know they can answer it correctly. So they spend a full minute-thirty working it out.

The NFL wants to see EVERYONE, pass on that question. Come back to it at the end. (Hence why you see a guy like Steve Young with a 33. He is one smart Mo Fo. But the Wonderlic would suggest to an NFL team "Work with him to make snap judgements.")

NFL teams are able to get info on HOW the player answered the question, not just "right and wrong"

That test is B.S. I got a 50 and still had 35 seconds left. It cant be that easy.

I would argue their is a difference between on and off field intelligence... hes the stupidest starting QB in the league I don't give a feck what a paper and pen test says.
