Well if you add him and Peterson's score together you get 10.
Having said that...those scores are meaningless when it comes to football.

Maybe he was off by one row on his bubble sheet and ran out of time so he never realized it. I like to give the benefit of the doubt.

The test isn't a football test. It's a bunch of random questions about all kinds weird shite to make you "think". It's obvious he knows football. That's what he's getting paid to do.
How does this help him cover a WR?

Calm down, he may have a learning disorder. U have 15to minutes to take it. Even rich white kids need a lil extra time on tests. You see it on all levels of education. Some kids truly need the extra 2time hours to take an exam. Its like they get lost on the way to finishing it.
Here is an example, my dad is dislexic, he can barely take an exam, hes not an idiot, he just reads numbers backwards. He wouldnt score well on a wonderlic test. He didnt graduate college, but he owns his own business and made enough money to send 3 boys to college.

I'm not reading this whole thread, but has anyone mentioned the fact that he has a reading disability???

test is bs anyway. a cornerback is the one player on the field that does not need intelligence

Maybe. I doubt it's meaningless but could be overrated for some positions.
You can take a sample o the wonderlic online. Honestly don't see how anyone could score less than 20 on that thing and be functional.

really?
20 pages and one full size add against this type of question.

Again. He has a reading disability so a timed test is not gonna show his intelligence.

Do you get special consideration taking the ACT when diagnosed with a reading disability? It just amazes me he could score high enough on the ACT yet make a 4 on the Wonderlic.

I'm sure you're allowed an untimmed ACT if you have a disability.

Just read this:
According to the National Football Post's Greg Gabriel, LSU CB Morris Claiborne was diagnosed with a learning disability in high school.
This helps explain why he registered a four on the Wonderlic Test. Per Gabriel, colleges that recruited Claiborne knew of the learning disability, which affects the player's ability to read. "Claiborne’s test score was NOT a true indicator of his intelligence," Gabriel writes. "He can and does learn."

he just put down anwsers and not really cared bout the final results. who could blame him they probably told them that wouldn't effect them in any way. short story i was in north carolina in the military they brought us in classroom at the end of the day on a friday and wanted us to take a test. they said the test was not going to mean anything but wanted us to take it anyway. my mind was already to hit the mall and club later so i just went thru and put down random anwsers. needless to say monday came around anb bout 1/4 of use had to take class for 3 weeks on how to read and anwser on a test. so it could be a honest mistake and he didn't take it seriously.
