OK, so Vince Young isn’t as dumb as it was initially reported. But really, is there a big difference between scoring a 6 and a 16 on the wonderlic? Here’s a sample Wonderlic test with a timer. Based on your sample score, you can project out what your 50 question test score would be.
I think something is fishy about Vince Young retaking the test and getting a 16 because the first one was incorrectly scored. I think even if the proctor used the wrong scoring sheet, he would’ve gotten high than a 6 just on pure random chance.
Next time a ballplayer makes a boneheaded play, just remember that most of them score “equivalent to unskilled worker” or “moron”. Here’s a breakdown of wonderlic scores by QBs in the past decade or so. Nice to know that Ryan Fitzpatrick scored a perfect 50.
