LOGAN, Utah – Former Utah State quarterback Jordan Love recorded the fifth-highest Wonderlic score among college quarterbacks who took the test prior to the 2020 NFL Draft, according to Bob McGinn of The Athletic.

McGinn reported that Love scored 27 on the Wonderlic Contemporary Cognitive Ability Test.

The former Aggies quarterback tested better than seven other quarterbacks including Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) and Justin Herbert (Oregon), who like Love, are projected to be selected in either the first or second round of April’s Draft.

What Is The Wonderlic Test?

As explained by Wikipedia, the Wonderlic test “is a popular assessment used to measure the cognitive ability and problem-solving aptitude of prospective employees for a range of occupations. It is a proprietary assessment created and distributed by Wonderlic. The assessment is available in 12 different languages and is often used in all types of employment hiring from entry level to executive level.”

The test is comprised of 50 multiple-choice questions. Each question is worth one point towards the total score. Test-takers are given 12 minutes to complete the test.

“A score of 20 is intended to indicate average intelligence,” according to Wikipedia.

The assessment was initially developed by Eldon F. Wonderlic at Northwestern University.
