What is difference of Wonderlic Test vs IQ test?
Some jobs you have to have the Wonderlic Test done!! Is it test like the IQ test to see how smart you are? Or is it test to see what you know.
Some people score low on the the Wonderlic Test mean they lack education in school or they not that smart?
Some jobs you have to do the Wonderlic Test they test on topics like math, science ,history and English on the test.
There not a single IQ test, but common variants include the WAIS and Stanford-Binet. Both place mean IQ at 100 and have a similar SD (15 and 16 respectively, IIRC). There is no theoretical maximum but note that a 145 IQ should mean that 99.7% of people rank lower than you, so at some point IQ claims get suspicious if there is nobody to compare your score to. The Wonderlic technically claims to test aptitude, not IQ, and might not rely on knowing specific facts but both have similar caveats - you should not make judgments about intelligence based solely on the results of one test.

The Wonderlic test has a hard maximum at 50. It is frequently associated with testing of American football players.
So it would not matter on the test if one sone got a high school diploma or GED than some one with no high school diploma or GED?
Even a Bush man or cave man from the Appalachian Mountain that never gone to school can do Wonderlic test?
Some people get high school diploma or GED but forget most of what they learn in school and other people get their high school diploma or GED and remember most of what they learn in school.
So if the test is not base on what you learn in school like math, science ,history and English how does it work?
My understanding is an IQ is not base on Book smart but how well you learn and are you a fast learner.
You could have 10 years of biology in school but score low on IQ test!! Being a slow and take time to learn things and understand things.
You’re forgetting the law of large numbers: a very large number multiplied by a very small percentage is still a large number.
0.3% of the US population is 960,000. That’s plenty big enough for comparing anything.
No, I said at some point, like when someone’s claimed IQ score implies that they’re “smarter” than more people than have ever existed in history.
The Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) not only measures intelligence it also measures verbal, numerical and spatial abilities. The WPT is used globally to screen job candidates in a short period of time and is considered a quick IQ test. Unfortunately there’s no simple way to convert the Wonderlic score to a comparable IQ number as the tests are very different.
Average Score: Other intelligence tests such as the IQ test set the score for average intelligence at 100. The WPT uses 21 as its score for the average person.
Efficient: The 50 question WPT must be finished in 12 minutes. Regardless of whether the test is complete participants must stop working when their 12 minutes are up. The fast pace and short list of questions mark the WTP as being quicker than other IQ tests.
Structure: The WPT is similar to other IQ tests in that it begins with easy questions then moves on in difficulty with the final questions being the most difficult.
Wonderlic Focus Areas are: Verbal, Math, and Spatial
Bellow are IQ to Wonderlic conversions based on standard deviations of both tests.
68 on IQ = 5 on Wonderlic
85 on IQ = 14 on Wonderlic
100 on IQ = 22 on Wonderlic
115 on IQ = 29 on Wonderlic
132 on IQ = 36 on WonderlicThat’s the idea of IQ tests, but none are that perfect.
The kind of question that you might find in a written IQ test are spotting a pattern in a set of numbers, or a list of words, or making some kind of geometrical observation about shapes.
So in theory just having a year or two of high school maths is sufficient, and then it’s up to your reasoning powers / speed* to answer the question correctly. But IME having high-level maths experience is a bonus as you’ll have familiarity with many kinds of pattern. And you can practice and get better at many kinds of IQ test, whereas we would not expect IQ itself to be so easy to change.
The Wonderlic test is a series of logic questions. Here you can take a sample test. It is not a test of what you remember from school other than some vocabulary tests.
A person would have to know how to read and how to do math in order to take the test. It is a rather crude IQ test but since almost all IQ tests are correlated it does an okay job.
But person IQ can be increased by doing some brain exercises.

Is there one bit of evidence in any of those articles that the advice works in the real world by measurably raising IQ for a large number of test subjects?
What are you saying that person cannot increase their IQ? And every thing they say at those web sites will not work? That there is nothing you can do to increase the IQ.
If anyone is wondering what is on a Wonderlic test, you can take a sample test here.
I asked if your cites provided any evidence or if they were spouting nonsense pulled from their asses. Without any citations, evidence, facts, references, or numbers they are bullshit.
The question of whether a person can increase IQ is a totally different one. However, those cites provide no clues whatsoever to answering it.
An excellent way to increase one’s real world IQ is to learn to tell the difference between real evidence and bullshit.
Not true. You can buy smart pills.
It say that nurse and Electrician are at 23. And Chemist 31, Electrical engineer 30, Engineer 29, A Secretary 24, A Investment analyst 27,
Cashier 21, Firefighter 21, Clerical worker 21,Receptionist 21, Security guard 17 and Welder 17.
A Warehouseman 15.
All About Wonderlic Test, Scores, Samples, and Practice
Only way to know is if there have been scientific studies to back up those claims. Not sure if any one here have done any exercises to increase their IQ.
But some people say Americans are smarter than they where over a 100 years ago so some thing may be increasing the IQ.
Or like, literacy, which helps take a test.
Damn straight. So why were you defending cites that had none?
