Vince Young Got a 6 on the Wonderlic?

If this is true then Reggie Bush is guaranteed to be the number 1 pick of the draft. No way you risk the first pick of the draft on someone who got a 6 on the Wonderlic.

The Wonderlic is 50 multiple choice questions in a test that has 12 minutes to complete. Supposedly the average score is 19 (one point per right answer) and the only person to get a perfect 50 was Harvard grad Pat McInally (current Rams back up QB and Harvard grad Ryan Fitzpatrick is said to have scored a 38). Drew Bledsoe supposedly got a 37 and Troy Aikman a 33. Jeff George and Michael Bishop are the lowest I know with scores of 10 each. Michael Vick scored a 20.

Scoring a 6 would be a GIGANTIC red flag if I were an NFL GM. Would it be possible for Vince Young to slip out of the top 10? The only way I would excuse Vince Young's score of 6 is if he blew off the test by just marking every question B (or C) right down the line.

EDIT: It is being reported on WEEI in Boston that Ryan Fitzpatrick scored a perfect 50 in just 9 minutes. This conflicts with what I have been told.

EDIT II: This report says the score of 6 was a mistake. Supposedly Young scored a 16 on a second test but if he didn't score a 6 the first time - why the need for the second test? I'm glad I put a question mark in the title of this post.
