Everybody knows he’s stupid.

What player with half a brain would let his HC operate on him 5 times?

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 The test is so far outdated it was in use during the Chuck Knoll and Chuck Knox, John Robinson, Tom Landry & Don Shula early years.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!

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 are literally making up excuses at this point.

Your entire dissertation is an emotional appeal on behalf of your favorite Alabama player.

He will likely fail in the NFL because he's

1) too fragile
2) too slow (physically)
3) too slow (mentally)

End of story.

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.

When healthy, the best qb I or anybody who's honest would say they've witnessed or saw play.

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.


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

Superbowl winning qbs have posted an average score of 30.7. They matter at QB for sure.

It's ok that Tua is not smart, he will open a Poke restaurant and ride the wave...
