Wow LMAO. How do people do bad on this

Makes you wonder how a guy like Claibourne could get 4 out of 50 correct.

HoneyBadger 02-23-2013 09:51 PM

This is CP. Everyone will score 15.

Hootie 02-23-2013 09:52 PM

I was 13 for 15 missed #4 and #14

#9 took me a while but I got it...what's the best way other than trial and error to figure that out? What's the proper formula?

Hootie 02-23-2013 09:56 PM

50 questions in 12 minutes eh?

Well obviously the strategy is to answer the easiest ones as fast as possible and then come back to the tougher ones. I answered all of those questions in a flash other than 9 and 10. 10 took me about 90 seconds and 9 took me probably about 5 minutes so I'd just have to leave 9 blank on the actual wonderlic.

So if I had 12 minutes I assume I'd probably score around a 35 MAYBE 40 if there weren't a whole lot of 'thinkers' like 9 and 10.

I'd love to try the whole thing out with the 12 minute stopwatch and everything.

Meanwhile, Sebastian Janikowski is still trying to write his name on top of the paper.

Got 14. It's too late in the day for me to do #9 in my head, so I skipped it and counted it as wrong.

Hootie 02-23-2013 09:58 PM

the fact Fitzpatrick got a 48 or a perfect or whatever he got in 12 minutes is amazing...

I mean, I'm pretty sure we could all get a 15 out of 15 given as much time as needed. I literally spent 5 minutes on #9 and you simply couldn't do that in 12 minutes for 50 questions.

HolyHat 02-23-2013 09:58 PM

I am not capable of answering questions w/o entering them in the Google. I fail

AussieChiefsFan 02-23-2013 09:59 PM

I got 12. I just left 9 and 10 because it'd take too long in the real test. Also got 14 wrong.

I n00bed myself on #4 and I'm just too ****ing stupid when it comes to daylight savings time to figure out 14...I really don't even know what months daylight savings time are...I am really ignorant when it comes to stuff that doesn't interest me.

10 took me 90 seconds without a calculator

do they get a calculator during this test?

Actually, I was also wondering this. Most of these questions are fairly straight forward, and when they aren't a calculate would really speed things up.
