. But, a slower reader does not always equivocate into a lower ability to learn and comprehend at a sufficiently high rate


But it absolutely inhibits your ability to process information quickly. Which is the relevant attribute tested for here.

You knew that already though, being the "expert" that you are.

For one thing, you're just applying it to qbs.

Secondly, I don't believe the qb will be trying to read a sentence or short paragraph on the field. Doesn't equivocate.

Third thing is this; a qb will have ample time to study defenses and learn the calls if he can remotely play the position.

I guess you're referring to TUA who was an island in one of the most laid back
places in the world. Academics don't roll out of HI. That said, he got a 19
which puts him average with the biggest numbers taking the test.

Lastly, what color purple and green make or how many gardeners are writers
is of no consequence to a majority of the populace. Hence the 20+/- 1 avg.

I'm sorry but the "experts" in the field of mental correlations and measurements disagree with the findings of the Wonderlic. The test is so far outdated it was in use during the Chuck Knoll and Chuck Knox, John Robinson, Tom Landry & Don Shula early years.

It's antiquated and prejudicial to a different time and space!
