I guess both the Dolphins and Steelers threw big beefy playbooks on Marino and Bradshaw, both of whom scored in the 15-16 range on the test. We all know how it turned out.:thumb:
The problem is, and as that Athlon article alludes to, if a player scores low you don't necessarily know why he scored low. Could be a problem specific to taking the test that doesn't apply very much to football, could be a matter of just taking it seriously or not. So while a high score is probably a very good indicator of being able to absorb information and make decisions quickly, a low score is not necessarily indicative of the opposite. Like any metric, knowing how to use it and what info can be reliably extracted from it is an art, as is knowing when to just chunk it out the window because a player has shown he's special and just gets the job done.
Not particularly hard at Florida... Honestly, bottom 3 in girls in the SEC. Us, Ole Miss, and Burnt kinda dominate this thing.
id put UGA in the top 3 with UT out. I may move UGA ahead of ole myth over the last few years. then again, it all depends on the ones you happen to see at the time. theres hot ones all over the south. floridas would rank higher if not for all the crystal meth use.
The Wonderlic is, at best, an approximation of intelligence. Neither of the standards for IQ testing (Wescler and Stanford-Binet) require reading. Although it is true that for most people there is a high corleation between reading ability and IQ, it is not always so. IQ measures potential, reading is an accomplishment. People with VERY high IQs can be dyslexic and have trouble reading S-T-O-P. With tests that approximate IQ, as the Wonderlic, if a person is dyslexic it will artificially deflate the IQ score. I know of examples where a person scored "68" on a similar test (mildly mentally retarded) but when give a true IQ test scored "99" (100 being average).

Well, It must be that all the hot ones go out of state or to florida state instead of florida or something cause I saw them Florida State girls at Spring Break last year and let's just say I'm not gonna talk down those florida girls by any means haha.
I don't know what their playbooks looked like, do you? But at any rate, those scores aren't too far from average. Young's was half of that. Saying that the Wonderlic is useless because a QB who scores 15 can be a good player is no more valid than saying that 40 time is useless because a WR who runs a 4.7 is still a good player. Jerry Rice ran about that fast. Does that mean coaches shouldn't get an idea of how fast their players are or that extra speed gives you no advantage?
