That's a much easier test than the full one. The actual Wonderlic has some really fucked up questions the likes of which you've never seen on any standardized test you've taken. This gives you a good flavor, but the people projecting scores in the high 30's and 40's - nope, not going to happen on the real deal without some practice & preparation, even then...

I will say while 25 may be roughly the average across industries, most NFL players are coached and that would make a huge difference.

Furthermore, when the test was given to miscellaneous people of various professions, it was observed that the average participant scored a 24. Examples of scores from everyday professions include:

* Chemist – 31
* Programmer – 29
* Journalist – 26
* Sales – 24
* Bank teller – 22
* Clerical worker – 21
* Security guard – 17
* Warehouse – 14

Wiki knows all.

How have you come by this intricate knowledge of the Wonderlic test? Have you taken the actual test?

The Dannettes on the Dan Patrick Show took the actual test after Wednesday's show and the lowest was a 23, followed by a 33 and 34 and the Dartmouth grad on the show scored a 41. Since he only scored a 41 he now has to wear a Greg McElroy jersey(Bama QB) and nothing else because he wagered that he would score a 45 or higher. Tomorrow's guest...SI swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen. Bad timing to do bad(by his standards) on a test.

I have a cousin who has administered the Wonderlick to lawyers during the recruiting process. She said the highest she has ever seen was a 46, and the lowest was a 14...average about 28 - for what it's worth. She said they all love it because they hear so much about it through the NFL ties and such.
I just scored a 45. I think the real Wonderlick is much harder.

45. Fuck taking the time to do work.

I dont know how the Even/Odd number one popped out to be right away, and the Letters one equaling a number was similar to a test question I had seen before, otherwise I doubt I would have gotten that.
