southsider2k5 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I saw in another place where they misgraded his test, Young retook the test and scored a 16 on it. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11590315/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'd have to think it might be a bit easier the second time around. A 16 is still nothing to write home about. The average NFL QB is a 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 16 is still nothing to write home about. The average NFL QB is a 24. Lots of guys practice for it. Anybody else ever taken it? It's a bit trickier to score high than I expected...guess I'm not that smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It's pretty crazy some of the scores. Dan Marino scored a 14 I believe, Alex Smith had one of the highest in history, it can only show so much. But it is very questionable how some of these guys manage to make it gradewise at top universities like UT etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 So basically, Vince Young isn't a complete moron, he's just an idiot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeFroman Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) 16 on the the second try is almost as embarrasing as 6 on the first try. What do you think is going to happen if some team drafts this guy and, after about a year, he is throwing lots of picks and having trouble picking up defensive reads. Fans will be all over whatever team picks Young for not paying attention to the giant red flag this test throws up. ... then again, he could go to the pro bowl for all I know. But if he struggles, he is going to be cast as one of the dumbest athetes of all time. Edited February 27, 2006 by AbeFroman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) It's timed. For 5 minutes for 15 questions. The test that ESPN provided was a joke. A grade-schooler could easily pass it. I took it and got a 14/15. Got 13 wrong becasue of a simple mathmatical error.

nitetrain8601 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I took one and only missed 1 question and I don't think I'm close to being a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 going to be cast as one of the dumbest athetes of all time. Not quite, here is a list of players that scored under a 18 in the past. Vince Wilfork Larry Fitzgerald Roy Williams Reggie Williams Kevin Jones Tatum Bell Julius Jones Vernon Carey Travelle Wharton Karlos Dansby Chris Gamble Ahmad Carroll Dunta Robinson Vontez Duff Sean Taylor Keneche Udeze Tommie Harris Tank Johnson Those are just some notable names from the last few years. Some of the numbers are just scary. Especially the amount of Miami players on the list, I didn't even add about 5 names of there guys, sad.

The test is 50 questions, and it's timed at 12 minutes, I believe. The number that you get right is your score. The time has as much to do with it as the difficulty of the questions. Are you sure that's the one you took? I only took it because graduates from the DePaul I/O psych. program work at Wonderlic, so they came into my stats class a couple of years ago to talk about it. They also gave us a test to take and were very careful to make sure that they got every copy back because it was one they were still developing/testing. Can't remember what I scored but I know it wasn't very high... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuck the Cubs Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 It's timed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Phfft. I could take a test with that stuff in about 15 minutes, and since it's multiple choice, just scribble in some answers at the end if you're out of time.

Palehosefan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 No doubt, but its not the end of the world for Vince. If Dan Marino can make it past his 14 that he scored, then Vince can overcome his 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Don't forget JP Losman registered a stellar 14 before his 31 on his re-try, lets see what Vince does on his re-try. Jim Sorgi also got a 14, same as David Gerrard, Daunte Culpepper with a 15 his first try. Aaron Brooks a 17, Donovan McNabb with a 12 and then a 16, Steve McNair with a 15, Elvis Grbac a 16, Neil ODonnell a 13, Jeff Blake a 17, Vinny Testeverde an 18, Randall Cunningham a 15 etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
