Wonderlic Personnel Test:

Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) claims to measure your general intelligence. However,
in fact, it measures your verbal, numerical and spatial capabilities. This highly culture
based test is one of the most widely used psychological instruments all over the world. It
attempts to screen the candidates for certain jobs within the shortest possible time. It may
be termed as a quick IQ test.

Purpose:
The purpose of the Wonderlic personnel test is not necessarily to assign an actual
Intelligence Quotient or IQ number to test takers. Instead, the test provides some idea of
an applicant's intellectual strengths and weaknesses relative to the requirements of a
specific job or assignment. Positions which demand stronger mathematical skills.

The test itself consists of a series of English, reading, math and logic problems which
increase in difficulty as the test progresses. In fact, the first set of questions is generally
considered quite easy for testers with average intelligence. The final ten questions or so
are considered to be the most difficult, although not out of the realm of possibility for
college-educated test takers. There are no penalties for right or wrong answers, and the
basic Wonderlic personnel test can be administered in 12 minutes.

Main Features:

Average IQ Score:
General intelligence quotient tests like WAIS-IV and Alfred Binet IQ test scales have set
a score of 100 for average intelligence. However, wonderlic personnel test has set score
of 21 for average people.

Quick IQ Test:
Wonderlic personal test is a time limited session which you are required to complete
within 12 minutes. You may finish the entire questionnaire or attempt a few of them but
you can’t continue working upon it after 12th minute. The free Wonderlic test may
require you even less time. It is the reason that this is a quick IQ test.

Short IQ Test:

The Wonderlic Personal Test is a short IQ test as well. It is comprised of merely 50


questions. Some psychologists view it a shorter version of main intelligence quotient
tests. The free Wonderlic Personnel test samples are even shorter.
