Yeah I did the full test too. 29 because I skipped the unscrambling. Also didn't have a calculator (am I supposed to?)

I didn't get through the whole thing. Not sure were I left off. 30-something.

It's not overly complicated, but it's also mostly logic/math-based.

37 correct made it through ~47

lol, i don't think you're supposed to have a calculator. I could be wrong though!

9-15 correct.

Lol, I don't think so either

13/15 99th percentile

Methinks there are too many people in the 95th+ percentile. Probably means it isn't accurate

Math sucks.

wasn't it Mo Claiborne that got a ridiculously low score a few years back? like a 4? Whoever that was is the only non-QB I can even remember being leaked

I have to imagine a lot of dynasty league players have a knack for numbers, but maybe I'm giving us too much credit.

I got 11/15, 98% percentile, definitely took too much time answering my first few and rushed through the end, barely finished in time. Interesting, thanks OP!

13/15 99th percentile

based off these results i'd gather that most dynasty fantasy football players have above average math skills.

11 of 15. 98th percentile. Thank GOD there wasn't much math lol.

I got a 8/15. I don't get how this equates to football ability at all, I just put random answers for some that I thought would take too long lol. Also agree, doing this on paper where you could do the quick ones and go back would make it easier.

Brutal. The timing aspect is the only thing that hurts me. I can never finish within this short time frame. Did both long and short form but got through less than 75% of both.

And I am a 95% guy in most test results... have been since a little kid. Even as a 40-something grad student applicant I hit those numbers... but my brain works slower now, more methodically, but I make fewer careless mistakes.

So this setup seems to favor the quick thinker more than anything, which makes sense in terms of QB play for sure, but on the field recognition of defenses is not comparable to the sort of logical thinking skills that many of these questions require. And I get why the tests are racially biased by design... because the questions themselves prey upon some things that tend to be deficits of urban students from challenging environments.

I worked at a Div.1 school in admissions for several years and this was widely displayed by the data we experienced in applicants and applications and verified by national studies.

had to take the Wonderlic for work once. You don't get a calculator apparently, but the math problems I had for that test weren't too numbers heavy, they were more logic, shapes, and geometry. Like proofs, logical deductions, and even a tessellation type of question.

HR employee said I got one of the highest scores he's ever seen, but he hadn't been working there for too long. I'm no Ryan Fitzpatrick, I'll tell you that much.
