HOW TO EVALUATE YOURSELF
I will discuss the actual scoring process in detail in a later chapter. For now, let me share with you some of the average original Wonderlic scores seen in various professions. Remember, the average score for an individual is around twenty, however anyone who scores ten is considered to be literate. In the National Football League, the average score is just below twenty. However, the test scores actually vary by position played. Here is just a sample.
One of the highest scores in the NFL is found among the quarterbacks. This makes good sense as quarterback is the thinking position on a football team. NFL quarterbacks average a score of twenty four on the Wonderlic. What might surprise you is that centers average a score of twenty five and tackles, twenty six. You might assume that offensive lineman in football is not a position requiring superior intelligence. However these players must learn everything the quarterback knows and more.
Guards and tight ends score, on average, twenty three and twenty two respectively. You might get another surprise to learn that wide receivers are at seventeen. Fullbacks average seventeen as well, and halfbacks are at sixteen.
On the defensive side of the ball, there is not a position that averages twenty or more. The scores range from safeties and linebackers at nineteen to cornerbacks at eighteen.
