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.

10/10 — this was like the PSAT.

I scored a 35… I hate being timed on questions like those, I have to really think them out LOL.
Good thing I’m not in school anymore or evidently an NFL player lol

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

I’ve got my own Wonderlic test; hit me up if you’d like to take it.

Proud of my 8 out of 10!

10/10 Baby! I guess I can keep that membership in Phi Beta Kappa now.

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?
on Feb 20th, 2009 at 9:27 PM
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.
