Fucking Jonnhy Football scored a 32 on his Wonderlic Test, which was one of the highest of the 2014 QB class. The Wonderlic Test is a 12-minute, 50-question exam that is designed to measure learning and problem-solving abilities. The test is given to almost every draft-eligible player, and it has been administered by the NFL for more than 30 years. The questions are not especially difficult, in and of themselves, but the compressed time frame is a wild card that can make questions seem more challenging. Let’s put Johnny’s score in perspective with the wonderlic scores for each NFL team’s starting QB:
Blaine Gabbert – 42
Alex Smith – 40
Eli Manning – 39
Matt Flynn – 38
Colin Kaepernick – 38
Matt Stafford – 38
Andrew Luck – 37
Tony Romo – 37
Sam Bradford – 36
Christian Ponder – 35
Aaron Rodgers – 35
Ryan Tannehill – 34
Tom Brady – 33
Matt Ryan – 32
Matt Schaub – 31
Phillip Rivers – 30
Andy Dalton – 29
Nick Foles – 29
Drew Brees – 28
Kevin Kolb/ EJ Manuel – 28
Peyton Manning – 28
Mark Sanchez – 28
Russell Wilson – 28
Joe Flacco – 27
Josh Freeman – 27
Brandon Weeden – 27
Jay Cutler – 26
Carson Palmer – 26
Ben Roethlisberger – 25
RGIII – 24
Cam Newton – 21
Jake Locker – 20
And if you want to see how your inteliigence measures up to a NFL player, I included a sample Wonderlic below. The official Wonderlic is a 50 question 12-minute test. What we have here, courtesy of WalterFootball.com, is a 20 question version. So, give yourself five minutes and then mulitiply your correct answer(s—I hope) by 2.5.
According to Wiki, average intelligence equates to 20. The average score for a chemist is 31, for a football player its 21, a warehouse worker’s average is 14.
1 – Look at the row of numbers below. What number should come next?

9 – Which number in the following group of numbers represents the smallest amount?
10 – In printing an article of 48,000 words, a printer decides to use two sizes of type. Using the larger type, a printed page contains 1,800 words. Using smaller type, a page contains 2,400 words. The article is allotted 21 full pages in a magazine. How many pages must be in smaller type?
11 – Three individuals form a partnernship and agree to divide all profits equally. X invests $9,000, Y invests $7,000 and Z invests $4,000. If the profits are $4,800, how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?
12 – Assume the first 2 statements are true. Is the final one:
Ben greeted Beth. Beth greeted Bob. Ben did not greet Bob.
13 – A boy is 16 years old and his sister is twice as old. When the boy is 22 years old, what will be the age of his sister?

18 – Which letter is missing from the group below?
19 – In a typical city in the Southern Hemisphere, which of the following months sees the most snowfall?
20 – FLAMMABLE, INFLAMMABLE – Do these words
Answer Key
1 – 1/27 – Every number is divided by 3 in the sequence.
2 – True. All Tigers wear white sneakers and the boy is a Tiger.
3 – $1.05. 21 cents x 5 = 105 cents = $1.05.
4 – One. Look closely – the I and E are switched in the first; the G becomes a C in the second; the comma after Hoff is replaced with a period in the third; the R in Warner becomes an N in the fourth; and Pino is Pina in the fifth. The sixth is identical.
5 – 3 – Mean neither the same nor opposite. Look the words up in the dictionary. Nothing alike.
6 – 300 feet. 20 feet in 1/5 seconds becomes 100 feet in one second (20 x 5 = 100.) So, 100 feet in one second is 300 in three (100 x 3 = 300.)
7 – 6 feet - 10 cents a foot, 20 cents for 2 feet, 30 cents for 3 feet, etc.
8 – August. The eighth month of the year is August.
9 – .25. The closest number to zero in the group is .25.
10 – 17. We want to maximize the smaller-type pages because using the larger type would use too many pages. So, try using all small type. That would be 2,400 words x 21 pages = 50,400 words, which would leave too much white space. Because the LCD between 1,800 and 2,400 is 7,200, take out 4 pages for use of the larger type (1,800 x 4 = 7,200). That leaves 17 smaller-type pages; 17 x 2,400 = 40,800. Add 7,200 to that (from the larger type) and you get 48,000 words. Hardest question on this test.
11 – $560. If the profits are split equally, each guy gets $4,800/3 = $1,600. If the profits are split proportionally, X would receive 45 percent ($9,000/($9,000 + $7,000 + $4,000). So, 45 percent of $4,800 is .45 x $4,800 = $2,160. Just subtract $1,600 from $2,160 and you get $560.
12 – 3 – Not certain. Just because Ben met Beth, and Beth met Bob, we don’t know if Ben even knows Bob.
13. – 38. If the sister is twice as old, she’s 32. The boy will be 22 six years from now, so 32 + 6 = 38.
14 – 3. All of the figures have four sides, with the exception of No. 3.
15 – March. March and September have equal amounts of sunlight and darkness on the 21st of each month.
16 – 17. 32-1 = 31. 31-2 = 29. 29-3 = 26. 26-4 = 22. So, the next thing you subtract is 5. 22-5 = 17.
17 – All of the other numbers are odd.
18 – H. Replace A with 1, B with 2, C with 3, etc. Multiply the first column by the second column to get the third. D = 4 and B = 2, so 4×2= 8. The eighth letter of the alphabet is H.
19 – August. The Southern Hemisphere is opposite of the Northern, so our summer is their winter. August is the only month listed remotely close to our summer.
20 – 1 – Have similar meanings. Flammable and inflammable mean the exact same thing
