Wonderlic a flawed test!

As a person who has a background in psychology and psychological analyses.
I can assure everyone that the wonderkind is a highly flawed and prejudicial test.
1. Some people have always been slow readers. Not due to some physical or mental defect..DRSMIII. The persons allow themselves to purposefully read and comprehend each word or sentence for a higher memorization.
2. Dyslexia.. many people deemed to be learning disabled are actually very smart with high IQ'S. These wonderlic tests provide "0" avenue to adjust for such disorders. No matter how slight or great these disorders can be. Once, a fair Accountability is assessed and assigned, then the IQ test will be valid.
3. Profiling... Ex. Tennis players and gardeners. How many inner-city kids grow up with the former terms as a life experience? The test is not reflective of a good sample of diverse cultures and demographics.
I could go on and on but you get the point!
Certain players, not to name, names could have actually scored higher than a larger percentage of the testers who took the wonderlic, If a fair and equitable grading system was in place.
So, people quit believing all the lower scores are dumb and by that admission, not all the middle to high scores will be entirely accurate of an account to that tester's brain power.
Can u dig it?
I knew that u could!

Curious time to be bringing this up, Todd. Is there any particular reason that you bring it up now?

A1abana players would ace a WindowLick test.

OP scored lower than Jeudy on the practice one

If 3 former LSU players scored 13 or below, this post would look VERY different.

Would you want to hire a quarterback who is slow at reading defenses and takes his time?
Sounds like a fair test to me.

Yeah, normally those who flunk the fricking test say that it's flawed.

Raw intelligence is not what is being measured.
It depends on your definition of smart but in terms of football it's how quickly you can assess a situation and make a logical effective decision. And really that definition applies to all smart people in all walks of life.
As such, the things you listed are deficiencies in making quick logical decisions and therefore people with those deficiencies by my definition aren't as smart as people who don't have such limitations.
And I should know because I am a slow reader and have some dyslexic tendencies; in other words I understand why I'm not as smart as people who don't have those limitations.

I guess as a white male without dyslexia who took tennis lessons for years, I was born to take the Wonderlic

Everybody knows he’s stupid.
What player with half a brain would let his HC operate on him 5 times?

Ah yes of course it’s flawed, as is the IQ test.
What else could possibly explain why white people and Asians score so much higher than blacks on average?

You know, you don't need a PhD to read and understand a psychological study. Just saying. Not saying Tua could have done it but it's not exactly difficult to generate an idea of the data if you have just an iota of statistical experience above terminology.

Jesus OP, what the hell is this? This is living proof that Boomers can't board.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard regarding the Wonderlic.
