Wonderlic 15 sample questions. (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=270339)

If this is how the real test is I'm amazed so many people get low scores unless they're just not taking it serious.

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 missed 1 question. For some reason, I picked May instead of March for #14. Obvious answer is obvious, but I've been drinking a little. At least I know that my ability to calculate math problems in my head isn't fazed by alcohol... which is nice.

That shit is easy, How can you blow that test?

I guess only having a short time for a lot of questions. Pressure of what is on the line. That and letting yourself get stuck on one question that you just aren't processing correctly. Also being an idiot would probably cause some issues.

When is someone going to post the answers to this test so I can ****ing ace it?

:hmmm:

I got 14 correct. I missed number 10 because I mis-read it each and every time. I finally realized it said less "how much less" instead of total percentage. There's a lot to be said about having your brain in "test" mode.

That said, I'm more than 25 years removed from college and testing. I can see how guys had low scores over the years (like Marino) because they got frustrated and said "**** it. I'm a football player".

Which is why I don't value the test as much as most.
To me football smart is being able to think straight while the bullets are flying.
It doesn't take a genius but it does take a special talent.
And more importantly having the physical chops to pull it off.

That is how I got my 1 answer wrong as well. I would like to think if I was actually taking the test I would have been paying more attention than I was popping through this on the internet but who knows.

As you mention the art of taking the test, especially this one, is of great importance.

why am I less intelligent than you because I know EVERYTHING about the three major sports from 1990 to now...literally TONS of knowledge and trivia and stats stored in my brain...and I don't know anything about daylight...

but you know everything about daylight and the ocean and perhaps only 10% as much as I know about sports...

why is one meaningless subject considered 'omg common sense everyone knows it you're stupid' and the other is just meaningless?

Huh?

Huh?

I measure intelligence differently. I choose to be ignorant in subjects that do me no good/don't interest me. I could care less about history. I don't care about slavery or Lincoln or who discovered America...

I do care about the Chiefs and Michael Jordan and Nolan Ryan and amazing pizza recipes and stuff like that...

I'm 27. I don't need to know where Slovakia is on the map. Does me no good.

The test is more of common sense.. If you get a low score on something like this that should be easy to pass, then the teams will know or have a better idea about how you will handle your career and money they give you..

Sure, there are diamonds in the rough that end up getting a smart money manager that will not screw them over/broke..

But when a person is lacking that bad at analytically skills, he best be a freak athlete to have the scores overlooked.. At least for a few years until you can release him when he is downhill and more then likely broke so he can go play for the Raiders..

I got a 13, the 2 I missed I did not want to scribble on paper.. The rest was done in like 2 mins.

Football smarts is huge, but this test is just as important.. But they need to manage their money/career/friends.. The tests gives you an insight to this.. Certain companies give similar tests like these now..

This test will also show willingness/capability to learn NFL playbooks.. Talent only takes you so far..
