LSU shows signs of Super Intelligence

[PabloDiablo]

Morris Claiborne of LSU posted a 4 out of a possible 50 on the Wonderlic test. Clearly his major achievement in college was not reaching the national title game but was not failing. Article says Vince Young knocked out a 6/50 in '06.

Strangely enough, I looked up the lowest recorded score ever and found that Darren Davis also scored a 4. :sad: But that was from wiki-answers FWIW.

Eh, as far as I am concerned, I've already got a ticket to Hell waiting at will-call. Making fun of the mentally handicapped just assures that it gets punched.

I guess I'm a historian?

It's harder than you think, I will admit I took it twice. The limited amount of time is the most challenging part of it.

You Scored 36
That's better than Aaron Rodgers. He only scored a 35.

He played college football at Cal. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 2005 NFL Draft. He led the Packers to victory at Super Bowl XLV and was named Super Bowl MVP.

43. Boom.

You guys with the 36 and 43... you realize they don't get to use calculators on this test, right?

That's better than Phillip Rivers. He only scored a 30.

43 and my only calculator was my brain.

Same here. Went too slow at the beginning and ran out of time just as I started reading the final question (which I would have gotten with 15 more seconds).

Yea for Historians!

 

[bringmagicback]

20 the first time, I ran out of time....26 the 2nd time lol. I wouldnt say im smart nor am I stupid.

I was better than Ben Rothlisberger (sp).

If it was anything other than math I think id be up there a ways higher. Stuffs hard.

 

[Sloup]

43. I feel like this can't be an accurate reflection of the test.

 

[oldman]

26 here. Man, that time flies!

 

[CyArob]

40, but i finished with 1.5 minutes left, so I could have done better if I took my time

Kind of a sad story IMO. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who can slide over to a spot in the NFL Network booth in case he suffers a career-ending injury.

I have to wonder if he might have some sort of undiagnosed learning disability or dyslexia.

My freshmen year of college at UNI I got a 3 out of 30 on a test in the easiest, most basic general education math class. That's right; 10 %. Afterwards I got myself tested for a learning disability, and while I was not diagnosed with an actual learning disability when it comes to math I did end up with the next best (worst?) thing, which was a math-related anxiety disorder.

Wouldn't laugh too loud. A former Iowa State player has one of the lowest Wonderlick scores ever.

I can already name who will be posting here soon that he got a perfect score. Can you?

I would be careful judging the results of this test versus the actual test. Looks like half the people here are reporting scores of 40 or more, corresponding to an approximate IQ of 140, or about the 99th percentile. Cyclone fans are smarter than most, but that's highly unlikely.
