October 4, 20223 yr full test is 12 minutes, no calculator allowed. Vince Young = 17 Ryan Fitzpatrick = 48 (rumored) https://wonderlictestpractice.com/full-practice-test/
October 4, 20223 yr Had to take one of these for an employment opportunity about 15 years ago. I can see how it's slanted heavily towards white American culture. If you aren't very familiar with that and not good at math I can see how an otherwise fairly intelligent person can score low.
October 4, 20223 yr 38. Didin't realize there was a time limit until about 2min left. Dumbass...can't read directions. Edited October 4, 20223 yr by slorch

No questions about properly smoking a brisket or adjusting a carburetor.

There was only 1 question that was historical, and another that might have been culturally-biased. The few remaining ones with cultural references (like a date/event), it was merely used to distract from the underlying logic/math question.
October 4, 20223 yr 52-80, I know it says no calculator, but is scratch paper and a pencil allowed or is all math done in the noggin?
October 4, 20223 yr Pretty sure one of the reasons it is widely used is because it's highly culturally neutral. I had to take the konger version of one for a job once before. I scored 48. I missed one of the match ones and one of the sales tax ones. It's early and I can't read.

October 4, 20223 yr Just missed Fitzy's score. Missed two of the folding questions because I was worried about time so didn't really spend time on them, and one of the pairs of exact matches. I missed a period. Below are your test results: Your score is 47 / 50 The average score is 61% Edited October 4, 20223 yr by Juicy
October 4, 20223 yr 43. Completed 47 questions. Would have gotten the last 3, needed about 15 more seconds. missed a match count, and fucked up a couple of arithmetic questions trying to go too fast. Edited October 4, 20223 yr by Pato del Muerto
October 4, 20223 yr 47. And I could argue for 48. The question about which one doesn't belong: river, lake, ocean, pool can be answered two ways. They said "pool" is the answer, but there are naturally occurring pools, which to me makes "ocean" the better answer since it is the only saltwater option.
October 4, 20223 yr Eleventy two. The folding shape (exc. one that was a cube) got me before I've had my coffee today. Otherwise pretty simple. Got a 43. It's largely a mental math test. Feels like that has limited applicability to football in general. Maybe you can say it tests mental processing for positions like QB, safety, etc. But beyond that it seems worthless.
October 4, 20223 yr That Vince Young is pretty smart. I got a 12, but still had 11:30 left on the clock.

Remove the time limit and it's just a math/logic test. With practice these become pretty easy so it also shows who actually worked at it

They said "pool" is the answer, but there are naturally occurring pools, which to me makes "ocean" the better answer since it is the only saltwater option. Why not river, because the other 3 could be argued as not free flowing? What about pool because it’s the only one small in scale? Or ocean because it’s salt water… Bad question with a variety of interpretations

October 4, 20223 yr Just now, C-Man said: Um, aren't there saltwater lakes? There are also salt water pools potentially and brackish rivers… the problem is that there seem to be possible exceptions across the board.
October 4, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, C-Man said: Um, aren't there saltwater lakes? Yeah, that occurred to me after I got in the car. It's just a bad question all around.

October 4, 20223 yr 46 - somehow I didn't click an answer about the bike, I didn't read the entire question for 2 of them and misclicked on the other. All in all not bad for a slightly dyslexic accountant 7 minutes ago, C-Man said: Um, aren't there saltwater lakes? and there are salt water pools
October 4, 20223 yr I had to take it a long time ago for a job. Got a 49. The key is to answer quickly. If you’re the sort of person who likes to take some time considering whether or not there are saltwater lakes or pools, you won’t finish.

If you’re the sort of person who likes to take some time considering whether or not there are saltwater lakes or pools, you won’t finish. Sort of like Hudson Card in the pocket. “Should I throw it here, nah maybe there but then maybe here, oh and then there is way over there to consider”Time’s up.
October 4, 20223 yr 47 I think I had like 4 minutes to spare. I disagree that this question can only be interpreted one way, though. Are they saying sweet tea is the only thing that she drinks in the summer, or summer is the only time that she drinks sweet tea?

Are they saying sweet tea is the only thing that she drinks in the summer, or summer is the only time that she drinks sweet tea? I think the answer is no. My interpretation is that in the summer, the only thing Marcia drinks is sweet tea, but at other times of year she drinks other stuff as well, and could possibly drink sweet tea. Just because she is drinking sweet tea, does not mean it is summer. For that to be true, the statement would have been worded, "Marcia drinks sweet tea only in the summer."
October 4, 20223 yr No, it says she only drinks sweet tea in summer, not she drinks only sweet tea in summer. So if she’s drinking sweet tea, it is summer.

Is that how that works grammatically? Genuinely asking. It isn't how people speak (or even write, for the most part). I mean if that's technically the right way to interpret it then I get it but it isn't supposed to be an English exam. You're right - I just had to think about it longer. Still a bullshit question for the purpose of that test. Edited October 4, 20223 yr by ztejas

Or ocean because it’s salt water… Bad question with a variety of interpretations Agree bad question. I debated between river and pool and picked river. Also missed one of the how many of these pairs are exactly alike due to rushing through it I guess. 48, ~3 minutes left. Edited October 4, 20223 yr by WBT

October 4, 20223 yr Marcia drinks only sweet tea in the summer is certain. Marcia drinks sweet tea only in the summer (or in the summer only) is certain. Marcia only drinks sweet tea in the summer in uncertain.

October 4, 20223 yr These are good arguments and I don't disagree with them, but only surl argues with the fucking test.

Marcia only drinks sweet tea in the summer in uncertain. I agree with this. I got the question correct but the specific word order they used could have different meanings depending on which words are emphasized in speech or even in writing. Marcia only drinks sweet tea in the summer Marcia only drinks sweet tea in the summer Hell, it could even have a different meaning if kinky Marcia bathes in sweet tea during the other seasons.
