Mo Claiborne scored a 4 on the wonderlic

[Bdog9090]

I didn't even know it was possible to score that low. 21 is averageintelligence, 14 is normal for an unskilled worker and anything below 14 is mentally inept. <div>

Gives new meaning to "student-athlete", huh? Seems that one could score higher just by randomly coloring in bullets.<div>

If it's true that 21 is "average intelligence" and 14 is "mentally inept", do y'all really believe a SEC defensive back is that far beneath a mentally inept person?

How do we know that he didn't goof off on the test or simply doesn't test well?

I think a lot of you get off on trying to label other people as less than you. Whether less intelligent or otherwise.

If that test was remotely accurate, then the guy wouldn't even be able to learn plays. Yet, he'll probably be the first defensive back picked in this year's draft. I don't think that score means a whole lot at all.

They have a different test they give to players that can't read well enough for the wonderlic to test their aptitude. Raven something or other. Uses pictures, pattern recognition, and logic I think. THey talked about it when one of the high profile quarterbacks bombed on the wonderlic, maybe Vince Young? Basically said that while his wonderlic score would indicate an intelligence that would not allow him to play qb in the NFL, his other test score indicated average intelligence, and the difference was likely that his reading skills were too poor for the wonderlic.
