Comments on: MARIO CHECKS INTO THE MOTEL 6 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/25/mario-checks-into-the-motel-6/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:03:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: MrMensa http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/25/mario-checks-into-the-motel-6/#comment-21814 MrMensa Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:19:11 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/25/mario-checks-into-the-motel-6/#comment-21814 The raw score that equates to an IQ of 100, is around 22. The average IQ of people whose ancestors are from sub-saharan Africa, is about 85. The Wonderlic score of 6 would put this Mannigham character just a little below average for that ethnic group. Some colleges adhere to standards of intellectual ability needed for admission. Several good examples would be Harvard, or the US Air Force Academy. The fact that this individual gained admission to an institution of "higher learning" reflects poorly on the college University of Michigan. The raw score that equates to an IQ of 100, is around 22.

Even with the time constraints it's just bloody easy. I honestly think anything less than 15 (out of the full 50) is functionally retarded. I cannot fathom how anyone could ever get a six unless they just flat cannot read.

First of all, not every question is multiple choice. There are several math questions that require calculations and a written answer. Secondly, not all the questions are as easy as the sample questions that are typically presented. The test gets progressively harder as you go along. The last 10 questions are significantly harder than the first 10. The test is also timed. The longer you take to calculate or ponder a question, the fewer questions you will be able to answer. Very few people will have time to answer more than 30 or 35 questions. I am not the brightest guy, but I was able to score a 31. I did get every question that I answered correct, but I ran out of time. I also think that I probably could have done a little better, if it were not the first time that I had taken this type of test. These guys are usually prepped by their agents, so that they are familiar with that type of test, and how to take it. I find it hard to believe that anyone with any sense, could score below a 10. It tells me that either the guy didn't try very hard, or that he doesn't read very well. It's possible that some of these guys who score very low have something like dyslexia, or a reading comprehension problem.

I found this interesting site ...here's a sample... Quarterback Chad Henne, wideout Mario Manningham, hockey player Chad Kolarik and softball ace Jennie Ritter are just a few of the Wolverines who have taken independent studies with Hagen, as have Jake Long and Shawn Crable, two of the captains on last season's football team. When asked what they learned in Hagen's courses, some athletes described being taught how to take notes, use a day planner, make a calendar and manage their time. In many cases, athletes said the main content of these courses was study skills and time management, although Hagen called the material "learning styles."

The questions themselves are not that difficult. However, it is a timed test. You have 12 minutes to answer all 50 questions. (To be honest I did not complete the test, nor do most people. This is one of the tests that MENSA offers in order to qualify for membership - and i did qualify). If given enough time most people could answer all of the questions. 6 is a rough score. That I can not explain away. It still is better than Roger Vick's score a few years back. However, the test is how quickly you figure things out, and how well you read the question. There is a sample quiz on espn's website. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html In order to mimic the Wonderlic, see how many of these questions you can answer in 3 minutes and 36 seconds.

There are many more inelligences than knowing word problems and adding numbers on a timed quiz. If he can run routes, catch, and stalk block, that is all I need him to do. Oh yeah, and not smoke pot and lie about it. If he catches touchdown passes everyone here will forget about the wonderlic score.

Go back in the archives of www.collegefootballtalk.com and look for the Michigan articles about a professor giving out grades and I'd bet that Mario was one of his students. The bigger questions are: Who is his agent? Why didn't his agent have Manningham better prepared for - a) his workouts, b) national radio/TV interviews, c) answers about his Mary Jane usage, and d) HIS FREAKING WONDERLIC TEST!!! It's 50 questions with a lot of the questions being multiple choice! Just by showing up and guessing at the questions he could score a 6. Then again, maybe that is exactly what he did.

While it may not be as important for a WR as a QB, it says alot about the education these athletes get at the universities. If anything, more should be done to make sure those guys take the classes seriously especially for a football player. Their careers could be over at any time and they would need their education to fall back on to make sure they can get a decent job should that day come I have a seen an old copy of that test and still can’t fathom how a person scores a 6 on it.

Not too long ago you could count on all Michigan students, even the football players, to be reasonably intelligent. Guess that is no longer a requirement.
