Wonderlic 15 sample questions.

[AussieChiefsFan]

I got 12. I just left 9 and 10 because it'd take too long in the real test. Also got 14 wrong.

10 took me 90 seconds without a calculator

do they get a calculator during this test?

Actually, I was also wondering this. Most of these questions are fairly straight forward, and when they aren't a calculate would really speed things up.

I have a feeling the guys who get the really SUPER low scores on these things are the morons who can't move on from 9 and 10 and sit there and waste 5 minutes of their total 12 minutes trying to figure them out

Agreed. Doing bad on this test has as much to do with not understanding how to take the test properly as it does not understanding how to answer each question.

10 was simple but you still had to figure out what % X invested and then times that to the entire principle which takes time shorthand...wouldn't take more than 30 seconds with a calculator though

Meh. I honestly had no idea December had the least amount of daylight. I literally don't pay attention to some of the easiest things to know. I used to watch the "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" shows and I'd miss the easiest questions it was hilarious.

Literally when you learned all of that common sense stuff about which month has the least amount of daylight I was busy watching Michael Jordan and memorizing his high school stats.

I honestly have no idea how to tell when I'm north, south, east or west. It's hilarious.

I was good at math because it interested me...I was really ****ing terrible at everything else. Oh I liked chemistry too.

I literally can name like 10 presidents and that's it.

It seems as though this test may be unfair. I'm curious about the questions on the new test they're introducing.
Maybe they'll ask about Michael Jordan's high school stats on that one.
Morris Claiborne may have got a perfect score...

Well, you just have to look outside in December around 5 pm to be able to tell.

Sure.

but I don't give a shit.

I have NO IDEA what month daylight savings is...

oh wait, I do one month (March) because I'm dealing at a Christmas party (lol) on the 9th and we always go to the strip club afterwards and we lost an hour last year because of daylight savings.

so yeah...the only reason I know when one of the daylight savings is is because I lost an hour at a strip club one time.

THANK GOD I KNOW THAT USELESS KNOWLEDGE THOUGH

I do wish I had a better sense of direction though...

oh and I don't get floor plans in houses...I'm always so confused on where rooms are when I'm on the first floor and thinking of the second floor.

I answered "HOOK 'EM HORNS!" to every question. Give me $26 MIL.

I get in this argument all of the time...

I can literally recite to you the first 5 picks of every NBA draft for the past 20 years...I can name almost every college an NBA player went to and like 70% of NFL players...

it's useless knowledge in something that REALLY interests me (sports)...I'm good at remembering baseball stats as well

why is this useful information any less important than knowing which month has the least amount of daylight?

as soon as someone can give me a good answer then I'll go back and take elementary level classes so I can learn information that I don't even care or need to know just like I did when I was a kid and I obsessed over sports and now am an Encyclopedia of sports knowledge.

seriously

why is knowing the Presidents more important than knowing what year Shaq went 1st overall?

riddle me that

Well I think in the end what is important in life is a personal thing. "Book" knowledge can be important at times if you are trying to work within the system. Certain "intellectual" skills do help build your abilities for other things. You mentioned you are good at math. Some of your thinking skills even outside of math were developed in part because of the ways you learned how to process math.

I cared/care about history, math, science, reading ect. I value that and take pride in it. How well I measure up in each category certainly depends on my company at the time. Still, I don't judge others based off of it. Plenty of my friends don't give a **** about any of that. Each person can decide on their own what is important in this world.

I just don't understand why knowing what month has the least amount of daylight is any more important than knowing the 1st pick of the 1991 NBA draft.

both useless information and I don't understand why people think 1 thing is common sense intelligence why the other thing is useless knowledge

how about this

I think anyone who doesn't know the 1991 #1 pick in the NBA draft off the top of their head is a ****ing moron

which is what I was called when I admitted in this thread I didn't know #14 because I don't pay attention to daylight savings time (when I guess daylight savings had nothing to do with it)
