Isn't the test multiple choice? Even if he didn't know anything, probability says he should get around 12 or 13 just guessing


Of the sample questions posted by someone on Tiger Rant, it looked like most were multiple choice but some weren't. But yes, to score a 4 out of 50 on multiple choice takes more knowledge of the answers than to score 12 or 13 because you have to know the right answer to be sure not to choose it randomly. Usually, when someone scores that low on multiple choice, it means they didn't finish the test. The Wonderlic does have a time limit, so that's probably what happened.

We can point and laugh all day at VY and MC, the truth is they will make more money as a rookie than most of us will see in a lifetime.




just wait 10-20 years and laugh again when they're broke and wanting you to feel bad for them.

Upshaw scored an 18

Dre.......a 26 supposedly

Wonderlic, Inc. claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate.


I mean seriously WTF?!?!?!?

Last year Peterson scored a 9? right? that's 2 straight years with a top 5-10 CB (Mo isn't going top 5 I don't think) from LSU scored under literacy rate SMH

I have SERIOUS interest because I am a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan, and for obvious reasons I am almost like the conductor of the "Trent Richardson Train" over on Bucs Nation (TB blog), we can get a quality CB in the 2nd I feel, or if Hightower is there in the 2nd rd. This score raises serious red flags & solidifies that position for me. I have a serious question for LSU fans on Mo...

How much of his great play was because of blitzing and Eric Reid over the top? It is very apparent he is much less cerebral, so was his duty almost always man and he was locked in? This si what it seems when I watch film and Matheiu seems to literally be the "glue" so to speak holding the back end together as the nickel DB, he blitzed, read the plays and adjusted coverage, played zone both deep and short, and manned any slot WR, he seemed like a very cerebral player (which shocked me honestly), so were Mo's duties just so simple that he could afford to not be all there as the 4 indicates? Please answer seriously no flames, I am very curious

Just did some research. 21 is average intelligence. 14 is an unskilled worker. Below 14 is mentally inept. So, a 4 by Claiborne means that he wakes up in the morning, shits and pisses on himself, and then runs full speed into a wall.

maybe he didn't take his pre-test shite


so it turned into a during-test shite...god knows have ran into mid test shits, but I always hold it so as not to miss time...however, then I have the problem of thinking about both the question being asked and the huge shite i have to take

lose lose situation there

A four, are you fricking kidding me. You get two points just for taking the test

I remember the laughter and derision in here when it was reported that NFL Rookie of the Year and NFL Record Breaker quarterback Cam Newton scored a 21 ( SOURCE RIGHT HERE (LINK) by the way).

Now, all I can say is...

Does this mean that LSU is the worst school in the SEC?

Bingo.

There should be an NCAA inquiry into LSU's academic procedures for student athletes based on this score alone.
