  Yup, the manager mentioned something about the NFL using it?

    It's an IQ test but does it help evaluate NFL players? Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard and was said to have gotten a perfect socre of 50. It turns out he might have only got 48 which is still really high. He bounced around 9 teams and threw tons of interceptions. He would go from amazing to horrible "Fitz-Magic" to "Fitz-Tragic" In contrast Lamar Jackson is said to have scored a 6 which is laughably bad. He just won his second Most Valuable Player award last week.

      Yeah, a lot of it is snake oil. Like how does a mental test access how someone does on a physical task like sports?

        Surely some part of sports is in your head. Not saying those tests measure it.

  Ah yes Wonderlic. I took that test once, half was seemingly an IQ test (predict the next shape, logical reasoning, etc.), half was a standard MBTI-style personality test. They sent me the results of the personality portion only. I assume my IQ test results are out there on the corporate dark web and companies will be judging me by it from now on.
