While waiting for 'Hot Tub Time Machine' to debut, how about we all take the Wonderlic Test.

The Wonderlic Personnel Test is a test of problem solving ability used by a variety of employers. It turns up every year at this time when NFL scouts are testing college players at the combine. Test results are supposed to be confidential but they always seem to leak out, especially as they apply to that most cognitive of of positions, quarterbacks.

This year Sam Bradford is supposed to have scored 36, which is considered pretty good. By comparison, Jimmy Clausen got a 23, Colt McCoy a 25 and Tim Tebow a 22. Tebow's score was reported with a degree of glee by his unreasonably numerous detractors.

The assumption can be made that the test means something or the NFL wouldn't continue to administer it. What exactly that is remains unclear.

Hall of Famer Dan Marino scored a 12. Vince Young got a 15, only after he was allowed to retake the test after scoring a six. Buffalo's Ryan Fitzpatrick, a Harvard grad, nearly aced it with a 49. Former Cincinnati punter Pat McInally, another Harvard grad, legendarily did, scoring a perfect 50.

It is interesting to note that as a group, quarterbacks don't score the highest. The offensive line does. Make of it what you may, running backs average the lowest.

The Wonderlic is given to other professionals. Among them, according to Wikipedia, chemists score the highest with a 32. The average American worker scores a 24. There are test tests on the internet. A couple of the examples of questions follow.

What number is next in the following sequence:
32 31 29 26 22 ?

The hours of daylight and darkness in SEPTEMBER are nearest equal to the hours of daylight and darkness in:
1. June 2. March 3. May 4. November

They aren't all this simple. A few are impossible.

I scored a 15, which loosely projects to a 37, although to be fair I may have taken liberties with the time allowed. So the test clearly fails to measure the ability to fill out an expense report or properly install a windshield wiper.

See if you're as smart as a football player.
