If I can find somebody at the shelter that is helping to pack items for the Hurricane relief efforts and has an phone with interent access I'll ask them to do it.
This is going to tear at my insides now for the next 5 hours. Next time I'll include the source. My bad.

Based on Wonderlich test scores of everybody on rosters.
en fuego said:There are a variety of different "intelligences"
logical, linguistic, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, naturalist
the wunderlic measures logical (math) and linquisitic (words) ability
football is a game of kinesthetic (physical coordination) and spatial (seeing something and processing) intelligence
Someone may have a very hard time understanding a written description of a play (linquisitic intellegence) but very readily see a diagram of a play and be able to translate that to action on the field (spatial).
So if the wunderlic measures the ability to solve math problems and the abiltiy to comprehend what you are reading, how does that translate into the ability to play football? Seems to me the test proves absolutely nothing with reagrds to the ability of someone being able to play this game.

I think teams only want the results of the test to see if players will be able to understand the contracts they are signing. The lower the math and reading skills the easier it is to confuse them and get them signed to a lower contract.
