Are you smarter than a football player?
Edited on Tue Apr-10-07 01:36 PM by AngryAmish
At the NFL combine they give a timed intelligence test known as the wonderlic. It is not exactly an IQ test but a timed test that most teams think relates to "football intelligence." I took the test and got one wrong - read the questions carefully.

Anyway, take the test (it takes 2 minutes) and see if you are smarter than Dan Marino.

1. Yes
I'm smarter than a football player.

I'm also taller than Linda Hunt and funnier than Dane Cook.

2. Looks like a potato is probably smarter than Dan Marino.
Those were ridiculously easy.

3. I did miss the
one with the shapes, and which one was "most different". :shrug:

4. It was the only
one with more than four sides. You were probably looking more at symmetry, in which case I can understand missing that one.

12. Okay, I'm a dolt.
I got 8/9 because the "hours of daylight and darkness" one didn't click with me, so I jumped at June because it had 30 days. Didn't see the connection.

15. Dan Marino may be a drooling dolt next to the DU Lounge, but he's got
more money than all of us combined.

Worthy of note.
