The Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test (formerly known as the Wonderlic Personnel Test) is basically a common knowledge problem solving exam. It has 50 multiple choice questions which have to be answered in 12 minutes. A score of 19-21 seems to be average, and equates to an IQ of 100. The NFL isn’t the only company to use this exam either. Many well-known organizations use it to get a feel for a person’s cognitive ability before hiring them. The job titles which have been required to take this test range from professional football players to bank tellers, police, engineers, technicians, even real estate sales agents. I am sure there are many others that also use it that I haven’t listed. I will go out on a limb from my experiences and say that Wal-Mart probably does not. (more…)

Even Michael Crabtree couldn’t score above 18, which is what most teams prefer a wide receiver to score on the 50-question speed test.

Georgia’s Matt Stafford comes out looking like a genius.
