THE KEY TAKEAWAYS

OK, at this time, I'd like to close out chapter one by presenting your ten takeaways. Here they

are:

1. The current version of Wonderlic's WonScore exam is actually a battery of three separate component tests.

2. While a graduate student in psychology at Northwestern, Eldon Wonderlic developed this test.

3. Wonderlic’s goal in creating the test was to help companies select qualified employees.

4. The first companies to use the Wonderlic test were Oscar Meyer and A, T, and T.

5. The current version of the test is called WonScore; it is an assessment tool living on the cloud and completed online.

6. These types of IQ tests are developed within the field of Industrial and

Organizational Psychology.

7. The results of IQ tests are used to measure intellectual disability or determine educational placement.

8. There are many other common IQ tests in use today besides Wonderlic.

9. Other well known tests in this field include the Mechanical Aptitude Test and the

IQ test. These tests are considered to be statistically reliable and valid.

10. Every profession that uses the Wonderlic has their own specific hiring process and scoring standards.

And with that, we are at the end of chapter one. Follow right along to chapter two. Or, if you'd like, take a break and resume the audio at a better time. Thanks for listening.
