A fucking 5 on the Wonderlic.
"But he said he didn't take it seriously....."
I dunno even know what that means. Provided you can count and identify which number in a list is largest you should probably get at least 5 of the 50 questions correct.
I think the reality is he's not that bright and knew if he answered them honestly his score wouldn't have been all that high. May as well just sandbag the whole thing and play it off as something other than being stupid.

He said it "wasn't related to football" so he blew it off. You're probably alot closer to the truth. He's just a moron and knows it.
Tom Landry brought the Wonderlic to the NFL and was instrumental in getting it to be a standard for scouting. He knew the value of not having dumb players on the roster. The NFL adopted it.
It measures not only intelligence, but also problem solving and ability to retain what you learn. But more importantly it measures your own self worth and dedication. How hard will you TRY. It measures pride.
That Claiborne would blow it off tells us alot more about him than his actual score had he tried, would have.
Jerruh says he doesn't give much weight to the Wonderlic. I imagine it is probably because he scored single digits on it, himself. Therefore he continues to draft dumb players and gets dumb play, as a result.
Wanna know one of the big personnel gulfs between Jerruh and Jimmy? Curvin Richards. Low Wonderlic score, Jimmy didn't want to draft him. But Jerruh was in love, and insisted. Jerruh thought he had himself the next Emmitt and could use that come contract time. (Emmitt was entering the last year of his rookie deal.)
The dumb fuck Richards fumbles three times subbing for Emmitt, causing Dallas to almost lose that season's last game. Jimmy cut his ass the next day. The personnel arguments between he and Jerruh got alot more heated after that and was the most heated point between them that led to their parting of the ways..
We play .500 ball since 1997. DUMB PLAYERS is one big reason why.

Yeah, couldn't understand the term, "protect the football." Read about it in Jimmy's book.
