Miami Hurricanes continue to dominate the Wonderlic intelligence test

[Awsi Dooger]

Hey, underpants usually beats me to this. Perhaps he posted in the Lounge.

I'm a huge Canes fan, but it is remarkable how consistent our football players are on this test. Running back Frank Gore reportedly scored a 6 out of 50, well behind the 10 posted by WR Roscoe Parrish and the 13 from QB Brock Berlin. Of course, that 13 is a hybrid, since Berlin schooled at Gainesville for two years. Minus that, I'm projecting single digits. After all, a 13 would put Brock Berlin only a notch below the 14 that Dan Marino posted in '83, and we know Brock Berlin ain't no Danny Marino.

The QB from something called Harvard aced the thing, a perfect 50. QB Alex Smith of Utah scored a 40. Here are two links, one some sample Wonderlic questions, followed by a listing of NFL QB Wonderlic scores from the past 20 years or so:

1. hmmmmm Canes fan?

Why didn't you include Rolle and Myers scores?

Why didn't you mention that Gore has a legitimate learning disability?

And finally why didn't you also speak to UM football grad rate, which despite all the early NFL departures is still at 58%, way higher than FSWHO, UF, and other large FB schools.

I can almost hear my UF fan co-worker coming down the hall.

6. This is a joke. I knew most jocks were dumb but this friggin dumb?

Both of my kids missed only one question. Can this be a real example of the test or is this guy joking?


I mean C'mon.


9. The ninth month of the year is
1. October, 2. January, 3. June, 4. September, 5. May.

10. Which number in the following group of numbers represents the smallest amount?
7 .8 31 .33 2

The ninth month of the year? This is how you measure intelligence? You would have to be retarded not to get these right after 14+ years of education. To only get 6 out of 50 would make you a dumbass of mammoth proportions. It's no wonder a lot of these guys get taken for their fortunes and end up broke.
