If you answer yes, you are a thief. So you can't be honest and they are very good at sussing out dishonesty, so you have to be very good at such tests to even get a foot in the door.
would you want your future job (or lack thereof) to depend on online ratings from supervisors you worked on previously?
suppose you get a bad one?

I work in the Web industry and all my CV has ever been regarded as is a list of companies that I've worked for, which is only useful if you've got a few BIG names on there. Every single employer in the industry is far more interested in seeing a proper portfolio detailing the standard of work that you can do.
