Take the Wonderlic!

Take the Wonderlic is the test which the NFL gives to its prospects to determine overall intelligence. It is a 50 question test in which you have 12 minutes to complete. This here is of course not the real one, but it has questions similar to wat you would get on the Wonderlic. In this case there are only 16 questions, so you only get 4 mins. Now remember, getting a lower score does not mean you are not intelligent. Ready! Go!
I will post my raw score on this and then my accompanying score on the Wonderlic. Each correct answer here is worth 1 point, there is no penalty for guessing or getting incorrect answers. Highest score possibly on this is 16, 50 on wonderlic, so create a ratio and figure out the what your score would be on the wonderlic. Then post it in the comment section.

Ready!

This is the most ridiculous IQ test I have ever seen. That said, out of the 12 that I bothered to answer, I got 11 right. God knows what that Wonder-nonsense that makes my ratio, because I'll bet I'm not allowed to pick and choose.
