Because your 20 years and numerous certificates say something about knowledge (not much, but at least something).
So being certified as an engineer and knowledge of a complex piece of engineering doesn't mean much?
I take exception to that, I'm not a 'paper MCSE' like a lot of people by any means.
Having the qualifications does not make a good engineer, the ability to apply the knowledge you have to solve problems is the key not passing a quis test.

RE: Quis test
The test didn't include any spelling, it was just math stuff. It's difficult to explain without actually seeing it but I will try give an example from what I remember.
4 x boxes numbered 1 - 4 as below
box 3 contains an unknown number of 5p coins
you can use addition, subtraction, division or multiplication
for example; using the above you can add box 1 to box 4 and put it in box 2, that equals one line
using 5 lines put the whole number of pounds in box 1 and the remaining number of 5p pieces on box 2
i.e. ther are 20 x 5p pieces in a pound so box 3 divided by box 4 = the number of pounds and remaining 5p's
if box 3 is 45 you would get 2 pounds and 5p

Doing 10 of these in 60 mins? Maybe I am thick after all.

Quis test
Hello, I have just joined this forum because after doing a search for quis tests, the only relevant link returned was for this forum. Reason for the search is below.
I attended an interview for a council IT position today. I have over 20 years experinece in IT and electronics, MCSE 2003, CompTia security+ and 3 x MCTS Server 2008 certifications and others. I'm not a numpty by any means.
I was given a quis test and failed it, I've not done any tests remotely similar for at least 10 years.
The questions were more like IQ style or math puzzle questions and I thought 'what has this to do with installing and configuring Windows server and AD etc etc etc' Answer = not a lot!
Surprisingly, or not, only 2 of the 20 at the 'interview' (not really an interview) were asked to remain. They could have been council employees applying for the position but I could not possibly comment!!!!
I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience?
