You don't even know what they mean but you know it pisses you off.

I always thought the intelligence test should include football questions, to gauge one's knowlege of the field they're entering. I'm surprised it doesn't.

It could be a simple as:

"A defenseless player is defined as:"

or as complex as

"Describe the situation in which a one point safety may be awarded."

Show a formation and a defense and ask them what the proper read would be for their position. Do this x 30 times or so.

It doesn't have to be all about football, but there should be SOME football in it.

While I agree with that, that's not what the test is for, right? I always thought it was to basically gauge their general intelligence, as in actual smarts instead of "football smarts." Knowing when a one-point safety is awarded or how an OLB should react to a certain formation is what they scout for, not what they use the Wonderlic for.
