Test: Are you smarter than Peyton Manning?

The Wonderlic test is given to prospective NFL draftees to test how they process information. A single-digit score means you are not the brightest player out there (Vince Young scored a 6 the first time he took it), while 50 is considered perfect (Harvard grad and onetime Bengals punter Pat McInally has the only confirmed 50).

Colts quarterback Peyton Manning scored a 33, while Dallas’ Tony Romo had a 37. The test administered to NFL draftees is 50 questions that has to be completed in 12 minutes. Here is a sample shorter test you need to complete in 2:30. I scored 8 out of 10 for a score of 40. Post how you did in the comments, but only take it once.

    9 right for a 45. I’m pretty sure the second-to-last question tripped me up as I only had 20 seconds left. Figures, it was a vocabulary question. Lol.

    8 out of 10, for 40, but I’ve never been good at math problems.

    For Chef’s School I had to take the 50 question version and got a 42. They were dumbfounded.

    what has this to do with gay issues in sports?

    Nothing. Not all of our blog items deal with gay sports; some we just think would be of interest to our readers.

    Hi All…I got 7/10 for a score of 35 in the time allotted. I finished it up to get a 10/10 about a minute after time expired. I’ve always needed a few extra seconds to think about things like this, but I usually get them right.
