Sandstone 0 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Mo Claiborne reportedly scored a 4 on the Wonderlic. Ouch. Luckily, he's a freak athlete and playing man-corner is one place where you can hide a low IQ sometimes. But still... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/03/claiborne-gives-birth-to-a-four-on-the-wonderlic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,831 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 A 10 alone means you're at least literate. Terrible Pryor got a 7 last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandstone 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I posted this yesterday and it got moved to 'Non-AU Sports'. So what is supposed to go in 'Rivals'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,781 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Bammer has a bunch of guys that scored twos and threes. The REC pays lots of money to keep that a secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McWeagle 4 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Claiborne also has a learning disabilty. Yeah, I've noticed several writers coming to his defense. Top notch kid according to most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,865 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Aren't the questions on the Wonderlic relatively easy though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSammyK 171 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderlic_Test An average football player usually scores around 20 points, Wonderlic, Inc. claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate.[15] Furthermore, when the test was given to miscellaneous people of various occupations, it was observed that the average participant scored a 24. Examples of scores from everyday professions include:Historian – 36 Chemist – 31 Physicist – 48 Programmer – 29 Journalist – 26 Sales – 24 Bank teller – 22 Clerical worker – 21 Security guard – 17 Warehouse worker – 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptau 169 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Basically its a simple and quick IQ test. The fact that it was leaked to the press is interesting and troubling. All the NFL teams would have a right to see it I guess as part of the draft process, Why the public would need to see it is questionable. Somebody thinks the IQ test score is the same as how fast a player can run, the public has some right to know both? Next they will start leaking medical histories.

Sandstone 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 It's very troubling that this was leaked. If a kid runs a slower than expected 40, people say "well that is surprising". When a kid scores a low score, people say "he is obviously stupid and /school/ must have been covering up for him/fixing grades", etc. My son has some struggles with timed tests, but he's very intelligent otherwise. If he was given a 12 minute test, particularly if he thought his draft position was riding on it...I'm sure he would struggle. I re-read what I posted above and hope it wasn't interpreted as a slam on him, it was more of a "I hope this doesn't cost him" post. Even if he has a learning disability or a low IQ relative to do fractions or geometry, I still think he'll be in the NFL for the next decade as a great player. The question really becomes "how will he manage his money?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUslug 1 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The thing to me is how much stock is put into these scores? If I was a sure first rounder I would tank the test and be done with it and show off my talent on film and workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Depends on the position re: how much stock is put into the scores. Several teams also use very in-depth personality tests and are evaluated by psychologists, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a good agent and a good money manager to help him, he'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
