PrintHappy Sunday, everyone!
With the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis in full swing, I thought it might be fun for you all to take a sample Wonderlic test. Remember, this is a test given all NFL draft prospects at the Combine and is said to predict how quick a person will learn and how well they reason and can solve problems.
The average score of QBs and offensive linemen is a 25. Other positions average around a 20. The highest possible score is a 50.
Players have 12 minutes to answer 50 questions. In the same provided, there are 10 questions. So the time limit is set at 2 minutes and 20 seconds (or one-fifth of the total time for the full test).
You can take the sample test right here. I scored a 45 on the sample. What did you all get?
Also note, you can view some of the notable scores of NFL players who have taken the test in the past (including a handful of Dolphins) after the jump...
(Thanks to "ebag" of Hogs Haven for finding this sample test)
Enjoy your Sunday and I'll see you back here later tonight with the "weekend roundup" post.

At 4 a.m., lets just say i am above the influence, very very above, tired and watching SC, and i scored a 35. The mere fact Frank Gore makes millions because hes just a big fast man pisses me off
You gotta hate to lose more than you want to win
35 also
Not bad with my Sunday hangover. Surprised that some of these players can tie their laces with some of the low scores that go around, LOL.
C'mon over to Shady's world, MiamiDolphins.co.uk
30...
I didn’t even se the damn timer on the top start as soon as the page opened. I lost like 10 seconds right there. Its nice to know that if i was 6’7 315, i could be picked number one overall, and make 30 million guaranteed. And then i woke up.
Now is the time- the time to rise up from the depths of Hell and stake our claim back on top of the AFC East...Look out Gaytriots here comes Jake Long and the Phins
50.......
But I doubt it’ll turn into an NFL offer unfortunately!
I seem to remember that Ryan Fitzpatrick got a very high score on this when he took it. It’s clear that being clever isn’t a good guide to success in the NFL!
Leadership, bravery, physical prowess are all as, if not more, important than the ability to think quickly.
I’m not sure this test is one of the more useful ones for NFL calibre talent. I think I’d probably take Dan Marino over Beck despite his test score!!
Do you know what Pennington got? I suspect he’s brighter than the average.
45 for me

Mostly because I didn’t watch the timer. I had just finished number eight when the little thing popped up. Ha, I looked at the last two afterward and knew I could get them right. But nice, that was fun.
I took that damn thing prior to getting to the Physical Therapy Asst. program........
NEVER AGAIN…..THAT THING HAD ME TURNING CIRCLES…..MADE ME CRAZY !!!!!
But, I must have done good enough to get into the program, as I finished with acedemic honors. Not bad considering I smoke pot all through H.S. and finished with D average.
What's next ??

Some questions look tough but are easy if you know the tricks the writers use. All that studying for the SATs, GMAT, GRE, etc finally paid off! Oh wait. . . no it didn’t.

LOL at Frank Gore getting a 6
IMO anyone with atleast 3 years of college should score fairly high on this…..

Gore has a learning disability
He’s actually a really inspiring guy when you read his story and what he’s overcome.
The Wonderlic is 50 math and vocab questions and you only have 12 minutes to accomplish them. Also, the degree of difficulty increases with each question. I guess what I’m trying to say is level of education has no bearing on how fast you can do the test. The vast majority of people do not finish the Wonderlic completely.
