Terry is a great college football player. He is so good, in fact, that next spring, he will enter the NFL draft. Much to his puzzlement, his buddy Andre tells him he better be ready for the Wonderlic. Explain what the Wonderlic Personnel Test is, and describe what type of questions Terry might be facing when he takes it.
What will be an ideal response?
Student answers will vary but should demonstrate understanding of the Wonderlic. A sample answer follows.
All companies are interested in hiring employees who have high cognitive ability, and applicants for jobs in many of these companies are given a cognitive ability test as part of the selection process. One of the most widely used tests is the Wonderlic Personnel Test, a 12-minute test of general cognitive ability that consists of 50 questions. It has been in use for several decades now and has been given to more than 120 million people by thousands of organizations. People who take the test receive one point for each correct response, and those points are summed to give a total score that can be used as a basis for selecting people for different jobs. The Wonderlic User's Manual offers recommendations for minimum passing scores for different job families. Terry will have to figure out number patterns, do mathematical calculations, and answer "if, then" questions.
