After seeing Cam Newtons score I had to check it out for myself are you smarter than Cam? Are you the next Ryan Fitzpatrick or are you Vince Young?

Good Luck!

I scored a 30... Two questions I was totally baffled by and two completely tricked me.

17 out of 20. Good for 42.5 but I'll round it up to 43. Where's my $40 million in guaranteed money?

"St. Louis' Ryan Fitzpatrick scored a 50, and he's nothing more than a backup quarterback. "

A little inaccurate and outdated statement.

35 / 50. Does this mean I can proceed to the profit portion of the equation?

Phase 1: Take Wonderlic
Phase 2
Phase 3: PROFIT!

I did pretty good, got a 45. I got #9 and #19 wrong. I am still confused on 9 because .33 is smaller than .25.. isn't it? lol.

And for number 10, I answered 20 pages, which is explained to be one of the right answers at the bottom. I don't get how it isn't the only answer, but whatever.

The wonderlic has to be harder than this, no?

And, King, if you only got 4 wrong, then you have a 40, not 30.

No I dropped a few others but those 4 bothered me.

Did anyone get the letter one? I couldnt make any sense of that.

I know I skipped that one because I had a minute left and wanted to go back to the paper question, which I still got wrong...

Got a 47.5....missed the last one. Grrrr...
I also answered 20 pages for the type set question.
The letter one I will give credit to the Defense Department for training me well. I did cryptanalysis.
I think the maker of the test was a business major in college.

He scored a 21 - and was probably coached for weeks...does anybody here really need to take a Wonderlic to prove they are smarter? If you thought you needed to.........

I got screwed because I tried looking at it as a fraction, which was silly. You know how 1/8 is smaller than 1/4... So looked at .33 being the higher number, thus it being smaller. I tricked myself. Sometimes the easy ones get you I guess. It was only one of two, give me a break :doh:

You would have roughly 4 minutes and 40 seconds I think to complete the 20 question test in order for it to be more accurate and closer to what the Pros get. The original test is 50 questions with a time frame of 12 minutes in which to complete it. I took it in 4 minutes, got 12 right, and left 3 unfinished. My total score was 30 even. Of course it came from Walterfootball.com, so I don't take much stock in it. JMO

Missed two, the fraction one and the same letter one that confused MBB. Went back to it with the few seconds I had left but still couldn't get it. Oh and yes put the 5 minutes on the clock.

The key to the wonderlick was always skipping/guessing the questions you don't know at a glance.

I scored a 40. The letter one was dumb. Also, the one questions asks how much "less" the investor X would recieve based on investments. He invested the most, according to the question, so he wouldn't receieve less at all. Bad question.

We did these type of questions in school constantly. Most of the questions are not difficult and is more about the timing of the test then the difficulty of the question. Most people comprehend what they are reading and wont need to read a question 30 times to figure out the answers.

haha, seriously? It's that easy? I got 20/20 right. Only two of them were even remotely difficult (#10 & #18). I skipped #10 and came back to it, and it put me over the 4:52 mark. So I guess I got a 47.5.

I can't believe some of these athletes can only score in the single-digits or teens. wow.

The Wonderlic is proof positive that there are two sets of minimum entrance requirements for all schools that have scholarship football programs.

What's scary is that most of the under-achievers studied at least a little bit for the test, so their scores as low as they were, started off LOWER, yikes.

I for example only scored a 37.5 on this test, but then when I tried a couple of more sample tests, scored better each time.
