What Does Your Score Mean?

After taking the Wonderlic, you’ll receive a raw score (0-50) and sometimes a percentile rank. The raw score is just the number of correct answers, while the percentile tells you how you compare to other test-takers.

Percentiles Explained

If you score in the 75th percentile, you performed better than 75% of test-takers. This helps employers gauge your abilities relative to their applicant pool.

Score Benchmarks

Different jobs may require different Wonderlic scores. For example, a management role might need a score above 30, while entry-level roles might have lower benchmarks.

Real-World Use

Employers use scores to predict job performance, learning speed, and even long-term success.

Cautions

• Scores are just one part of the hiring process
• A low score doesn’t define your entire potential
