Looking for something to do? Have everyone in you family take the wonderlic test. I’ve attached the test and the answer key. It’s a 12 min timed test. It’s amazing what you find when you locate an old scouting folder! #NFLDraft https://t.co/wAtmQ9VUbg
If you score a perfect 50, then you can count yourselves among limited company.
Per Jacob Hancock of the Sporting News, ex-Harvard punter Pat McNally is the only known prospective NFL player to score a perfect 50 on the pre-draft Wonderlic test, a tool that teams used to gauge prospects’ intelligence and problem-solving abilities.
While it’s debatable as to whether tasks such as picking the smallest number from a series or deciphering the antonym of a word means much on a football field, the test is still used today.
Among current players, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is known for dominating this test thanks to a stellar 48.
At any rate, consider giving it a shot and comparing your scores on the NFL’s own Wonderlic scale, provided here via Shanna McCarriston of CBS Sports.
