What is the Wonderlic Test?

In the midst of the NFL Draft season, you have likely heard of the Wonderlic test. With all the athletic testing draft prospects undergo, NFL teams want to test intelligence too, or at least attempt to. This test is what we’re here to investigate and eventually compete in.

The Wonderlic test is, in short, a cousin of the IQ test. It asks various kind of question to test for analytical skills, language ability, and overall critical thinking. It’s a 50-question test conducted in 12 minutes, meaning each question has less than 15 seconds to answer. As fast-paced as it is, it’s more important to answer quickly than to take your time to find the correct answer.
