This is pretty good 8-)

All college players who enter the NFL Draft are put through a series of rigorous physical tests. They are also put to the test mentally by a test known as the Wonderlic Personnel Test, which is similar to an IQ test. Although the questions are arguably not very hard, most prospective NFL’ers score around 50% or worse on the test.

Vince Young reportedly scored a 6... please take a look at the test & know that when major corporations have prospects take the test the average is 20-21...

This is a story Page 2 did a while back and it has a shortened version at the end. Kind of a fun way to spend 5 minutes

Thought this was also pretty interesting...

In general, says Wonderlic, "The closer you are to the ball, the higher your score."

This assessment roughly corresponds to the averages revealed, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, by an NFL personnel man in Paul Zimmerman's "The New Thinking man's Guide to Pro Football," which are:

Offensive tackles: 26
Centers: 25
Quarterbacks: 24
Guards: 23
Tight Ends: 22
Safeties: 19
Middle linebackers: 19
Cornerbacks: 18
Wide receivers: 17
Fullbacks: 17
Halfbacks: 16

The average scores in other professions look like this:

Chemist: 31
Programmer: 29
Newswriter: 26
Sales: 24
Bank teller: 22
Clerical Worker: 21
Security Guard: 17
Warehouse: 15

Take another look. Its not Sonny.

I got 14/15 only because I messed up some simple math cause a familiar number came up on number 13 and I jumped to a conclusion. At first I thought that most elementary school kids should be able to ace it, but then it actually got to some more complicated math and got slightly harder. I mean, if you cant figure out that september is the 9th month of the year, you've probably had too many concussions and should retire.
