Wonderlic Sample Test
If you've never heard of the Wonderlic, it's an exam given to players entering the NFL draft every year.
The Wonderlic is an exam comprised of 50 questions. Players have 12 minutes to complete the test. The average score (out of 50) is a 21.
Vince Young made headlines last year when it was rumored that he scored a 6. As we all saw in 2006, the Wonderlic doesn't mean much. St. Louis' Ryan Fitzpatrick scored a 50, and he's nothing more than a backup quarterback.
Some sample scores of other players include: Drew Bledsoe - 37; Steve Young - 33; John Elway - 30; Dan Marino - 16; Deltha O'Neal - 15; Donovan McNabb -14.
Below is a set of 20 questions that are like those that appear on the Wonderlic. If you want to see what you would score, set a timer to 5 minutes and answer the questions as quickly as possible.
Write each of the answers down on a sheet of paper so you can compare them with the answer key (link at the bottom.)
