I've been searching around to see if anyone else's was misgraded.

Could you provide any links since I'm having trouble finding some?

The chronology on the previous page (post #86) mentioned that the test wasn't given properly, rather than being misgraded. Remembering the sample Wonderlic tests I've seen in the past, grading shouldn't be too complicated.

But I need to hear more details on what 'improperly given" means. It would seem that they only need to give the guy a copy of the test, a #2 pencil, and a certain amount of time in a quiet room.

Wouldn't you think that his agent would have had him take sample Wonderlic tests over the past 7 weeks? Just like working on the bench press and the 40-yard time.

I can imagine that there's a lot of spin being used now, with millions of dollars at stake for VY.

haha, while looking around for info on VY, I found that besides McNeals lightning fast 4.35 40, he also scored a 41 on the Wonderlic. The HornFans board will soon be bombarded by aggies.

VY score definitely wrong

I thought I read it was more than just VY, but I can't find any links to that. So we'll see whether or not this is just VY's test being conveniently misgraded.

I agree Bill, isn't much of the test Multiple Choice or am I mistaken?

It's a mix of multiple choice and write down a number. Here's ESPN's sample:

espn.wonderlic

There's this blurb from the article Jwins linked:

"There are several different versions of the Wonderlic given, each with its own key for answers. If a wrong key was used, it would obviously hamper the score."

Well now we played if six was nine (or in Vince's case 16) I think its time to get back to the combine.

Some of board leaders in the drills day-by-day ...

Offensive Linemen and Running Backs (February 25) -- LINK

Partial copy from same - Mangold's performances showing good speed. Was (I think) the first of the O-linemen to do the 3-cone right the first time.

Running Backs QBs and WRs (February 26th) - LINK
NOTE: Santonio Holmes left the combine, did not go through these drills.
Most talked about player from QBs was Jay Cutler. McNeal's very fast speed showed up well.

Today (February 27th) - Currently only showing the TEs - LINK

Should see AJ's numbers soon enough, he has said he will go through all the drills.

I went through the example and got 13 of 15 without stopping, and did so in under 5 minutes. The only two I didn't get were the ones you actually would've probably needed to use pen and paper to work out:

11. In printing an article of 48,000 words, a printer decides to use two sizes of type. Using the larger type, a printed page contains 1,800 words. Using smaller type, a page contains 2,400 words. The article is allotted 21 full pages in a magazine. How many pages must be in smaller type?

13. Three individuals form a partnership and agree to divide the profits equally. X invests $9,000, Y invests $7,000, Z invests $4,000. If the profits are $4,800, how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?

The other 13 you could figure out real quickly in your head. I know that those were only examples, but sheesh, I'm not the sharpest tool in the drawer and still got 87% without thinking...

I've taken the real Wonderlic and it isn't as easy as that sample. I never found out how I did on it. The only thing I really remember is that the questions got pretty hard and I didn't finish within the time limit.

Congratualtions to Brett Basanez on what is clearly a world record. :biggrin:
