Some tests only measure how well you take that particular test. I’ve worked with people who probably wouldn’t do well on tests like the S2 or Wonderlic, but their problem solving ability was impressive.

The effectiveness of the Wonderlic V. S2 is likely a great topic for debate, even in a thread of it's own.  However, representatives from teams, agents, sports media personnel, etc. possibly strategicallypreading disinformation comes as no surprise to those who have followed the draft, and paid attention as to which "rumors" about certain players over the years were true or not.  

Sports are competitive, not just on the field among the participants, but also among those in the management and even presentation of the sport to the public.  Back in time, doing acts or spreading info with a dishonest intent was a negative thing to be frowned upon by most, now it's just excused under the guise of 'competition'.
