We have some unconfirmed Wonderlic scores! Yay!

The NFL is supposed to keep scores on the Wonderlic -- an intelligence test given to potential NFL rookies -- to themselves. Every year, though, some scores leak out, and every year, there's tremendous interest in those scores.

I think it's mostly because people like to believe that they're smarter than athletes. People see a young man playing football on television, and he's athletically gifted, rich and famous -- let's not ignore race as a factor here, either -- and to comfort themselves, they like to believe that they're at least smarter than that guy.

"He has everything in the world I wish I had, but he's dumber than a rock," the thinking goes.

So every year, some scores come out, and we hope that we hear that someone had a really low score, so we can make fun of him and confirm our feelings of superiority.

I feel a little bit weird about knowing a guy's score anyway. I guess it's unavoidable, and if I were about to give that guy $30 million to play football for me, I'd want to know. But as just some random dude, it feels like that's too much for me to know about a person. It feels like someone just showed me the entire contents of his medicine cabinet.

And then there's the question of whether or not it even means anything. Vince Young(notes) was reported to have done very poorly on the test, and he just made the Pro Bowl. Dan Marino's score was said to be very low, and he's in the Hall of Fame. Can the test predict anything at all about a guy's NFL future? Do we put way too much stock in standardized tests in all areas of life?

Anyway, if you're curious about the scores that have surfaced today, they're being reported on Twitter by Edgar Thompson of The Palm Beach Posts's Daily Dolphin. They're the scores of high profile quarterbacks.
