DreAming in DigITal Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 /\ Vince got a 16 the second time he took it (according to his agent)....They wouldn't say what he got the first time. Anything below 10 is below the literacy mark... One example of the questions on this test was on Sportscenter tonight. The example was something like.... "Newspapers are sold for 21 cents each. How much would it cost to purchase 4 news papers?" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/437323-nfl-offseason/#findComment-587251936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 One example of the questions on this test was on Sportscenter tonight. The example was something like.... "Newspapers are sold for 21 cents each. How much would it cost to purchase 4 news papers?" 84 cents. Does that make me qualified to be a quaterback at Univ. of Texas :D :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/437323-nfl-offseason/#findComment-587251954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
method Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Here is a sample test that was posted on Espn. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html I don't know what to say about Vince Young's grade. Some rumors that came out after his score was released was that the test was graded wrong. We will never know the whole truth.

BroChaos Veteran Posted February 28, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 28, 2006 wow, players really struggle with those tests too, don't they? you should be able to pass that test in 6th grade.

method Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I found some scores on the Wonderlic from 2005. http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/NFLDr...5/Wonderlic.htm What's sad is that Willie Mcneil scored a 0. Another thing is that some players scores went down on the second test. Now, I doubt that they gave the players the exact same test, but still to have such huge drops in scores is odd to say the least.

Maybe some players have been hit one to many times in the head.

bigbluepride35 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Though the questions seem ridiculously simple I heard the test is 50 questions in 12 minutes. I could see how the severe time restrainst could cause some guys to crack under the pressure and miss some simple questions. Still, only gettting a 6 (if that's true) would be quite embarrassing if you ask me.

mattmatik Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I wouldn't be surprised if he got a 6. Apparantly, it was a rumor, but it wasn't denied either. Bottom line: he had to take it a 2nd time, if you score good enough the first time there won't be a 2nd time. Makes sense to me. And he was the only guy who showed up to the White House in a sweatsuit while the rest of the Texas players were in suits. Common sense man. But does it matter? What's sad in today's sports world is all that matters is what happens on the field/court/diamond, etc. He'll get paid, be a millionaire and I'll work hard throughout my life to live decently.

method Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Maybe Vince is a democrat. It may cost him in the short run. That low of a score to some will cause him to fall a few spots in the draft. That kind of fall will be measured in the millions. To quote that one hit wonder Skee-lo. I wish I was a foot taller so I could be a baller.
