Didn't Vince Young get a -8??

icsky3 · 03-22-09, 09:35 PM

The local espn station down here had some example questions from the test and they were sooo pathetic. Basic 8th grade math (for some on here that may enter into the 12th grade realm) but seriously try to see if you can find some of the questions because I promise you will laugh your nuts off.

Vince Young scored a 6, and you automatically get a 4 for correctly writing your full name.

Vince Young left after going 6-50 he dissapeared for the night and Jeff Fisher was scared. Put him right on suicide watch.

Look at what he has done, or hasn't done, and you'll understand why he got a 6.

Here's a sample of some of the questions: http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html

I stopped at Question 4 and was flat out appalled that the average is not a 35-40+ in this test. I know not everyone is very smart and that is plenty fine by me but.......heralding anything lower than a 40 is like congratulating an offensive lineman for getting 13 reps at 225...

I did the 15 sample ? and I got 11 right so if there is 50 on the test i guess that means me average should be about 36 or 37. Man thats almost like some of the ? on the test.

I got 12/15 in the 5 minute limit just sitting here. I simply skipped #11 & #13 because I'd have had to use some scrap paper to keep the numbers straight. I've got a degree in math, so I'm sure I could do the 8th grade level math word problems if I'd been better prepared. I got #14 wrong, I assumed it was true because I thought we were working with a complete set of information.

Bottom line, I bet I could book up tonight and take the wonderlic tomorrow I'd get a 50/50. It's all junior high level stuff. Now running the 40 yard dash, they'd have to time me with a calendar.

Richkas · 03-23-09, 06:30 PM

After seeing this I GUARANTEE Crabtree will be in trouble with the law at some point. I hope the Rams dont do it.

Pat Mcinally the Bengals Punter in the 80's graduated from Harvard, and he is the only NFL player ever to get a perfect score of 50.

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 07:37 PM

It is pretty ridiculous how easy the questions are. It's not rocket science or anything. Are athletes that stupid?

icsky3 · 03-23-09, 09:02 PM

I hate to say it.... but I told ya so. The Q's are a horrible judge of IQ, but I guess that's just how much these guys don't have to study in college lol. I can see where some might get mixed up.... but seriously?

The wonderlic is not an IQ test in the general sense. The time limit and the # of questions are intended to put pressure on players to see how they perform.

The Math section is the hardest because although it is simple calculations, some of the problems take at least 10 seconds to read and understand, add another 10 seconds for the algebraic solution and another 10 seconds for the calculations and you are looking at 30 seconds for one problem.

The easiest section to me is the logical part where they ask you which number represents the greater amount and to complete number series.

The language part is just a matter of knowing the words or not, and let's face it, most of these guys can't even speak right. I'm guessing they don't do much reading either.

I believe it is a great way of measuring how effective these guys are under pressure. Vince Young's score was a sign for things to come. The guy is just plain dumb, he doesn't know how to read a defense and chances are he won't learn. He can't outrun people the way he did in college anymore so now he is ****ed.

Now seriously speaking, I doubt all the people that claim to be able to smoke the test are really capable of doing that. I have taken it and my scores have been in the high 30's range. But let's find out, 12 minutes, no calculators. No penalty for wrong answers.

Now check your answers:

Answers

1. 14. Since the class has three times as many girls as boys, the class is composed of 75% girls and 25% boys. To find the number of points each boy scores on average, we solve the following equation: 0.75*18 + 0.25*X = 17, where X is the number of points each boy scores on average. Solving for X gives X = 14, so the boys average 14 points per game.
2. 192 days. There are 48 different combinations of ties and shirts (8 different ties for each of the 6 pairs of pants), and then four different shirts for each of these combinations. In numerical form: 8 x 6 x 4 = 192.
3. $357. John's base wage can be figured by multiplying his pay per hour by the number of hours he worked: $8.50 x 36 = 306. His bonus for oil changes is calculated by multiplying the payment per oil change by the number of oil changes performed: 17 x 3 = 51. These two products can then be added together.
4. 9 cm. Volume is calculated as the product of length, width, and height, so if height is set as Y: 6 x 7 x Y = 378. This can be rearranged to 378 / 42 = Y = 9.
5. 25. This kind of problem can be easily solved by simply finding the average of the two extremes in the range: (13 + 37) / 2 = 25.
6.12 points.
7. No. Arnold will only save $10 by using the oil (.5 x (500 / 25)), and this is still $6 less than the cost of the oil.
8. 56 cents. First, divide the number of inches in 2 feet (24) by 3;then, multiply this number (8) by the price of 3 inches of rope: 8 x 7 = 56
9. 80.The next number is found by multiplying the previous number by 2.
10. 78.The next number is taken by adding one to each number and then multiplying this sum by 2.
11. 65. The next number is found by multiplying the number by 2 and then subtracting one from the product.
12. 1/9.
13. 1.5. The next number is found by dividing each number by 2.
14. 60.Be sure to identify the position of the decimal point.
15. 0.04. Be sure to identify the position of the decimal point.
16. 0.09. It may be helpful to say the numbers out loud: "9 hundredths" is clearly smaller than "54 hundredths."
17. Make sure to note the number of place values rather than simply looking at the value of the first digit in the number.
18. A, Have similar meanings. Both credit and credence can refer to a belief in the truth of something.
19. B, Have opposite meanings. Vintage refers to something old, while novelty refers to something new.
20. C, Have neither the same nor different meanings. To aspire to something is to set it as a goal, while a spire is the pointed top of a building, especially a church.
21. B, Have opposite meanings. To produce something is to bring it into existence, while to reduce it is to take part of it out of existence.
22. B, Have opposite meanings. To abstain from something is to refuse it, while to retain something is to keep it with oneself.
23. A, Have similar meanings. Both of these words can mean to change the purpose or direction of something.
24. C, Have neither similar nor opposite meanings.
25. A, Have similar meanings. Both of these words can mean to attack or crowd around.
26. C, Have neither similar nor opposite meanings. To punish is to penalize, while a skirmish is a small fight.
27. C, Have neither similar nor opposite meanings. Candor is fairness and openness in expression, while a condor is a kind of bird.
28. 6 feet 29. True 30. 84¢ 31. 1 32. 3
33. 1/8 34. true, 35. 84 cents, 36. 1, 37. 3, 38. 4,39. 300 feet ,40. 6 feet .41. September, 42. .33,
43. 17, 44. March, 45. $560, 46. Not certain,47. 40 years old
48. B,49. C,50.

Just add how many you got right and that's your score.

pretty hard not to score better than in the teens...just choose 'C' on everything

Vince Carter · 04-09-09, 06:31 PM

lol i got a 46 omitting ones where the question isn't complete (i.e. #38) and most of the ones i got wrong were the vocabulary

dwest718 · 04-23-09, 12:29 AM

If this is an actual Wonderlic test I can see why a lot of the guys score so low. As hard as the SAT in my opinion. Scored high 30s and wasn't able to finish (mainly because I didn't take it seriously at first)... but still. Respect to Kevin Curtis... and if Barnes' and Stafford's scores are legitimate, that's pretty damn impressive. Stafford may be able to live up to his hype after all.
