Re: Interesting stats on Wonderlic Test
the Morris Claiborne one is misleading, supposedly he answered the first question and then walked out on the test
I'm not sure why he did that though...

Re: Interesting stats on Wonderlic Test

Re: Interesting stats on Wonderlic Test
wow, just noticed the huge racial divide between the top scores and worst scorers...
all of the worst scores are black...all of the top scores are white with the exception of Ben Watson and Calvin Johnson
Kaepernick is half black/white but raised by a white couple
