2006 National Champion Texas Longhorns - Flumper Barflusterbutt - 01-06-2006

Are you sure? I thought I read a blog that said that "Texas A&M has a higher average Wonderlic score than Texas....." before the A&M/Texas game. Hang on.

Quote:Shall we blame Mack Brown, or shant we?
By Jim Dallas
The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) says Texas A&M's football team is smarter than ours (their boys averaged a 21 on the Wonderlic test; ours 19.7). This is in addition to their higher graduation rate for their football team.

(The population average is around 20; the WSJ says the "broader population" of job-seekers scored 21 -- although one might assume that including non-job seekers would probably lower the average for the entire population by a point or two).

That might be based on 2004 Wonderlic scores from the combine. I don't think Vince Young has taken it yet.

A score of 20 is consistent with an IQ of about 100, while a 10 means the player can be generously described as "mostly literate." If you understand the theory of the Bell Curve, you'll understand why a 19 Wonderlic score isn't a 95 IQ, 18 does not equal 90, 10 does not equal 50, etc.... A score of 10 would be roughly equal to an IQ of 70...moderately retarded.

So Jeff George is moderately retarded. Steve McNair is not much better off.

Donovan McNabb.........12
Michael Bishop............10
Steve McNair.............15

it would be fun to see what is on that damn test
can these guys really be that dumb??

2006 National Champion Texas Longhorns - Flumper Barflusterbutt - 01-07-2006

My scientific research shows that there are 6 dumb black quarterbacks for every 2 dumb white ones.

well, with the talent george had, maybe his sub-moron intelligence explains his lack of success

but mc nabb appears to be of at least average intelligence in his media appearances

Based on the questions they have sampled, there is no way that it can be compared to any IQ test. The thing is a joke. Did you guys check it out?

if the sample was representative, the only thing standing bwtween snarg and 50 for 50 is the time limit

That was too easy. There must be more questions on the real one.

Last year Iowa State running back Darren Davis reportedly scored a 4. Now, of course, he's in Congress.

Is he white? If so, then there are three black quarterbacks out there that scored lower.

Description of the Wonderlic Personnel Test

The Wonderlic Personnel Test is a short form test of general cognitive ability and has been used worldwide since 1937. Cognitive ability is often referred to as general intelligence and is used to describe the level at which an individual learns, understands instructions and solve problems.

The Wonderlic Personnel Test contains 50 questions that increase in difficulty and must be completed within 12 minutes. It contains various types of questions that must be completed without the aid of a calculator or other problem-solving device. The questions include word comparisons, disarranged sentences, sentence parallelism, following directions, number comparisons, number series, analysis of geometric figures and story problems requiring either mathematics or logic solutions.
