This must be a test to see if they are brain dead before or after their NFL careers.

What a useless test to give to a future football prospect. This has nothing to do with football knowledge,or ability. Just typical of people,wanting to know too damn much about folks. It is probably why you have so many low scores. Who would really give a shite.

If I'm a GM I want to know if a prospect is a dumb frick. Just because some of them sound dumb as frick doesn't necessarily mean they are so no harm in asking them to take a standardized test, right? And even if they are it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't worth drafting. But I'd like to know.

It's designed to test a player's ability to process a lot of information quickly and arrive at the correct answer.... you have to be talented first, but given a group of physically talented QB prospects, isn't this something you would like to know about them? It's not 100% predictive of NFL success but it's certainly useful information.

So essentially Wonderlic has no true bearing on success as a NFL quarterback.

It doesn't correlate to the job they're being evaluated for.

Is there any correlation at all? If there's no correlation to success then it's a pointless test for the task at hand.

The only tests that matter are tests that correlate with success, otherwise what's the point in testing?

I'm guessing the test is there to test aptitude in certain mental aspects of the sport but again, does aptitude in those areas, as indicated by a high score on this test, correlate with success in those areas? In other words, if you're hoping this test will let you know if a player can absorb the playbook quickly or remember a lot of formations and assignments but a review of the results between the test and reality don't pan out, then the test has failed its own test and isn't serving its intended purpose.

You should always be testing the tests. That's how you design good tests.

QB Average Score? According to Paul Zimmerman's The New Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football, the average score of an NFL quarterback is 26. Most teams want at least a 21 for a quarterback. Offensive Tackles Have the highest average score among players, with an average score of 26. Which position tends to score the lowest? That would be a halfback, with an average score of 16.
