Well, I'll be! Johnny Football aced his Wonderlic!
http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201404/report-johnny-manziels-wonderlic-scores-are-tops-among-quarterbacksWeeks after Manziel impressed scouts at his pro day last month, the 21-year-old from Texas A&M can now add a strong Wonderlic score to his portfolio.
Lance Zierlein, a Houston radio host, and John Middlekauff, a former NFL scout and current San Francisco radio host, each tweeted Thursday that Manziel had scored above 30, and NFL Network's Albert Breer reported Friday that it was a 32:
The Wonderlic test doesn't ask anything about football, and as is the case with many intelligence tests, it has been criticized for its reliability. It consists of 50 questions, with a 12-minute time limit. "The questions are not especially difficult, in and of themselves, but the compressed time frame is a wild card that can make questions seem more challenging," according to Dennis Manoloff of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Although the Wonderlic has been used in numerous occupations, it is most famous as the aptitude/IQ test for NFL prospects."
According to Breer, the scores for the other top two quarterback prospects this year were 28 for Central Florida's Blake Bortles and 20 for Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville.

A guy from A&M? The average Texas family has 2.1 children, and the .1s all go to A&M!

According to this article about LSU's Maurice Clairborne, who allegedly scored a 4. He's managed to scratch out a career with the Dallas Cowboys, however.

Are you smarter than Johnny Manziel?
Incidentally, it's mainly about speed. On multiple-choice arithmetic questions, it's often best to work out some digits exactly and check the choices rather than work the whole thing out.
