From the article: The S2 Cognition Test isn’t an intelligence test like the 50-question Wonderlic exam but rather measures how quickly and accurately athletes process information. It’s like the 40-yard dash for the brain.
He couldn’t give out Purdy’s exact score because it’s privileged information but said it was in the “mid 90s.” That’s about where Brees, the former Saints quarterback famous for lightning-fast decision-making, scored and where two of the top passers in the league now, the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the Bills’ Josh Allen, also landed. The Bengals’ Joe Burrow took the test while at LSU and agreed to allow S2 to disclose the results
This is basically a specialized Wonderlic. I have taken the Wonderlic before - anyone can take it - and all it does it test your processing power. You have 50 questions to complete in a fixed period of time and they progressively get harder. However, they aren't football related. It's just testing how quickly you can process the input and complete it.
That's what this S2 test is doing I think, but it seems like it is sport specific. How fast can you diagnose this coverage, how fast can you determine where this ball is going etc. I would classify both as an intelligence exam. Joe did pretty well on the Wonderlic as well. I can't find anything on Purdy and the Wonderlic, so he may not have taken it.
