By the way, can anyone find a link to the real 50 question test. I'd love to try that out
Perfect score is 50, the average is 21. Those with a score of 10-12 typically have jobs ranging from janitor to street sweeper.

Holy Cow, dbt302! That's what I call thorough. You have changed the Filter into the seive.
Well, being a Texas fan, I was about to throw out some smart ass comments about Tommie Harris' score of 11 (since UT fans were always bitter about Harris going to Oklahoma instead of Texas) but then I remembered that our all-american, national title QB scored a 6...... so nevermind.
I wonder what Lombardi, Namath, Bradshaw, Csonka, the Fridge, Pastorini, Starr, Unitas, Blanda, or any number of the old guard score ( or would have scored) on this test. Is this an accurate measuring stick of NFL ability? Prioritizing and decision making notwithstanding, it all seems a bit arbitrary. As far as I'm concerned, ksb 122, I can't wait to see how Vince impacts, or perhaps doesn't impact, the NFL.
We're all waiting for Vince to just get into the league and get on with his career, whatever it may bring. Really, this is just parlor chat until the draft. It may mean something, it may not, but really, this is just a non-scandal to fill the gap between the end of the Winter Olympics and March Madness. Hey, hockey starts again tonight. Which is my cue to move on.
Bring us a shrubbery, but not a largre one...........nihh, nihh.
Perhaps Grum can make sense out of this. This article presents empirical evidence that within the modern draft era, there exists no statistically significant relationship between intelligence and quarterback performance at either the collegiate or professional level. Likewise, more intelligent quarterbacks are neither selected earlier nor compensated more for their mental abilities.
DukeDykstra Hal, it took a bit of mental math for me to figure that one out. What is the method for solving it quickly? Thanks.
Here's how:
Reduce the numbers to their smallest amount by getting rid of zeroes or dividing by common numbersFigure out how much more a small vs. large gives you- the difference is keyStart at the least 'productive' page/item, figure out how far short that leaves you, and it's a simple problem to solve in your head.
Well, the first thing is obviously, get rid of the zeroes- so you're dealing with 480 words, with 18 on one page and 24 on another. You could also go a step further like I did and notice that 48, 18, and 24 are all multiple of 6, so you can make that an 80 word article with 3 or 4 words per page. 80 words, 3 words on one page type and 4 words on the other page type- heck that's math anyone should be able to do in their head! But the "trick" is simple for these problems, and you see this type on lots of intelligence-style tests. They tell you that you've used 21 pages. So you simply start by using the least productive method, i.e., large print on all 21 pages, at "3" words per page. That's 21 x 3 words, or only 63 words if we go all large print, no small print. Our article is 80 words long. Therefore, we're 17 words short of meeting our 80 words. Every small print page gives us 1 extra word than a large print page. That's a simple substitution: every time we change a large print page into a small print page, our word count total goes up by 1. So: 17 words=17 pages must be converted to small print to make up the difference. If instead they told us that it was 4 and 6 words per page, and a 90 word article over 21 pages, we could do 4x21 = 84, 6 words left. So swapping in
3 small print pages at 2 each = 6. This is, incidentally, why a lot of these type of tests are bunk, and why I disagree with intelligence tests as a measure of much besides someone's fondness of taking such tests or doing puzzles in general (
which is probably a general indicator of above-average intelligence, but not necessarily much more). If you've taken them before, you'll see this style of question- or a very close variant- so frequently you'll quickly recognize it and do what I did above. Any intelligence measured becomes simply a question of how familiar you are with these tests, and how good you are at recognizing a problem of a similar type. If my future Pro Bowl linebacker also had a lifetime subscription to Games magazine and was a whiz at cryptic crosswords, I don't think the Wonderlic is going to tell me much of anything that wasn't obvious already.
