Either he didn't care or he doesn't test well or he was nervous, or some combination of the three.
Seriously, if his intelligence was truly equivalent to a 4 on the Wonderlic, he would be mentally handicapped. I don't care how physically gifted you are, mentally handicapped people don't get to play SEC football.

when he is counting his millions he can have them Wonderlic his balls.
I've never understood why they choose to administer an intellectual test and waste everybody's time when you have years of game film of their actual athletic performance. They are being hired to perform certain athletic activities, not engage in quantum physics or perform medical procedures. If the Wonderlic means absolutely ZERO when it comes to drafting an athlete then WHY even force them to take it? PP had a shitty score yet he gets drafted top 5 and makes the pro Bowl his rookie year. Moral of the story? The Wonderlic is useful for toilet paper

This makes me wonder about those, "Cultural Bias," criticisms of standardized testing. Could there be some validity, there?
Wonderlic sample:
54. If your parents trust-fund has an annual annuity progressive tax cap of 14%, and you have already started making quarterly deposits into a separate off shore account in the Caymans, what is the maximum return you can expect to hide from the Socialist/Muslim/Kenyan government?

Given the avg number of choices on the multiple choice, a random guess would produce about 2 right answers. I think he just blew it off.

He's a cornerback who cares. Wonderlic only matters for olinemen, qb's, and maybe MLB's

DP just asked how he stayed in school at LSU and scored a 4 on that test.

Wow. I think that's about on par with 10 year olds. Scary

Didn't really do the math, took a guess...that's why I said about.
What does it work out to ?

Seriously?
If there are A-D, you have a 25% shot. 25% of 50 is about 12. A-E would be 20% or a 10.

how dumb do you have to be to either
a) score a 4 out of 50
or
b) not care about something that's really not that hard and will be publicy scrutinized

When he makes his millions and becomes all pro, he can tell them to wonderlic his balls. FIFY.

pretty much. he always seemed to be a pretty smart (or at least not ridiculously dumb) to me. hell, he struck me as too smart and conscientious to just "blow it off" too.

You , and everyone else dogging him are obviously better at life. Congratulations on your awesomeness

So, a blind dude from China that doesn't speak the language could make a 12 by picking A on each question. Did he even take the test or just write his name in?
MC was my favorite LSU player, and by a mile. He sounded pretty intelligent and you can't be an idiot and play as good as he did. WTF?

Damn...I think you get a 3.5 just for getting your name right.
Maybe he went with Meaux because he was feeling nostalgic.

wowsers, we all know that LSU has had a dirty program in various ways over the years but this is anecdotal evidence of academic fraud, for him to have been an "academically eligible" Junior. A wonderlic score of 10 indicates literacy.

That's a shocking score. I'd be curious to find out what Mo was thinking going into it, because he seems like a smart guy.
