It's like any other test. Jerry Rice didn't have an impressive 40 time but nobody can deny he was fast on the field.
This is the time of year where people put way too much stock in 40 times, Wonderlic scores, bench presses, etc. All they really should be concerned about is can the guy play football. Period.
Marino is the perfect example, his score is awful, yet would anyone say he was a 'dumb' football player? The guy could read a defense with the best of them and made lightening quick decisions. Same for Favre. Look at Griese, where has that score gotten him in the league?
There are more important things that just can't be measured by tests. Heart, leadership, guts, instinct, etc.
