Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another story to tell. So, today’s little adventure is all about this thing called the “Wonderlic” test. Yeah, I didn’t know what it was either until I stumbled upon it.
It all started when I was reading up on this football player, Michael Oher. You know, the guy from “The Blind Side” movie? Well, turns out there’s some drama going on with his story. He’s saying the whole adoption thing was a lie, and the family he was with actually tricked him into some legal stuff when he turned 18, and they made a ton of money off him. Crazy, right?
So, I’m digging into this, and I see a mention of the Wonderlic test. They say it’s a test often given to NFL hopefuls to check out their smarts. It’s like a quick IQ test – 50 questions in just 12 minutes. Sounds intense, huh?
Naturally, I got curious and wanted to see what the fuss was about. I found a couple of these tests online. One of them I scored 35 out of 50. Seemed okay, I guess. But then, I started to wonder, are these even accurate?
I found some website, trying to learn how to actually pass this thing. There’re tips, strategies, and all sorts of stuff. It got me thinking, this test is a big deal for some people, especially if you want to get into the NFL or some other jobs.
Then, there was some stuff about this Michael Oher wanting to give back to his community, especially in Nashville. He wants to help kids go to school, even if they’re not going to make it to the NFL. That’s pretty cool, I thought.
- I went down this rabbit hole of Wonderlic tests.
- Took a couple of them just for kicks.
- Started reading about how to prepare for them.
- Found out Michael Oher is doing some good stuff.
But seriously, this whole Wonderlic thing got me thinking. It’s like, how much does a 12-minute test really tell you about a person? And with all this drama around Oher’s story, it just makes you wonder about the whole system, you know?
Takeaway Time
So, what did I learn from all this? Well, first off, the internet is a wild place. You start reading about one thing and end up somewhere totally different. Second, these tests, like the Wonderlic, they’re out there, and they can be a big deal for some folks. And lastly, it’s always good to hear about people trying to do good, like Oher. It’s a nice reminder that there’s more to life than just scores and scandals.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure for today. Hope you guys found it interesting. Catch you in the next one!
