However, basing his IQ solely on a Wonderlic score, like many have done on this site, is ridiculous. Most players study for the Wonderlic, Vince Young I heard did not. This was b/c of how busy he was working on passing mechanics and other drills and he also had lots of media events and the like from him winning the National championship where he played brilliantly. He has stated that it was foolish that he didn't prepare for the test. Also the Wonderlic is basically a speed test, where you have to make connections quickly. Maybe Vince Young is simply a slow reader.
Since we're picking on TJR's 'Vince Young love' I think it interesting to test the theory of Young not having "studied" for his Wonderlic test. Since it's a general intelligence test what's to study? Young is supposed to be a college graduate. Shouldn't he be able to answer the questions below?
See how you score on some examples from a Wonderlic IQ test.
