From looking at the test, it appears to test their ability to handle pressure more than anything. They have a timed limit and have to make quick decisions. It is questionable just what impact the test has exactly, but it's hard to discredit when you see so many good QBs scoring well and others that never got it scoring bad (yes there are exceptions, but many times it seems the good QB who scored low was gifted with talent wherease those who score high and suck aren't exactly memorable for their physical abilities). So the way I see it, it won't be right every time but is just one more tool for evaluating the player.
