Interesting test. If I took it, it means I would become a defensive lineman, then, upon retirement start a singing career.

Some famous former NFL player said on radio recently that the test is half word problems and half math problems - you have 12.5 minutes to answer 50 questions. Since he was way better at math, he didn't even attempt to answer any of the word problems until he'd done all the math ones, and subsequently came up with a rather high score. If there's any truth to that, too bad Tim was not advised likewise. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Oliver Barry Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 5:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Report: Tebow posts below average 'Wonderlic' score [Andreu] Importance: Low It is obvious the Wonderlic test does not measure intelligence.

Chris was a Draddy Finalist, with a degree in Sociology, and gave the keynote speech at graduation. Plus, I've heard the guy interviewed lots and lots, and he is no dummy. -Zeb "This is a great honor, but I would not have been able to achieve this without the guidance from our coaching staff and the Office of Student Life," said Leak. "Coach Meyer has put a tremendous emphasis on academic success and graduating and that message has had a positive effect on our entire team. It is clear that Dr. (Keith) Carodine, Jason Storch and the entire staff truly cares about how each student-athlete at Florida lives on and off the field each day. My family has also played a significant role in showing me the importance of getting my education and I can not thank them enough for everything they have done to support me. I'd also like to congratulate the other members of the National Scholar-Athlete Class on their efforts."

There seems to be no correlation between the test score and a quarterback's performance in the NFL. NFL Hall of Famer Dan Marino, for instance, reportedly scored a 12 on the test. Brett Favre, who is headed to the Hall of Fame, scored the same on the test that Tebow did - a 22. Peyton Manning had a 28. Former UF quarterback Chris Leak, who did not make it in the NFL, scored an eight a few years back. Among current starting quarterbacks in the NFL, the average score on the Wonderlic was 30. Based on his academic record at Florida, Tebow is an intelligent guy. He graduated in December with a cumulative grade point average of 3.66 in family recreational services. In 2009, he won the National Football Foundation's academic "Heisman." As for his potential to become an NFL quarterback, Tebow's throwing motion and release have received most of the scrutiny over the past two months. He will reveal his new, tighter throwing motion at UF's annual Pro Day on Wednesday in The Swamp. The event is open to the public and begins between 10 and 10:30 a.m. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us <http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us <http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us <http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
