You'd have to be very lucky to find a decent software tester by giving
a multiple-guess test when there are several possibly right answers per
question.

I would respectfully decline the test in favour of asking you questions
about what you intended to learn from it. If you insisted that I take
the test, I wouldn't be interested in the job.

Then I'd ask if the developers at your shop will write most of the tests,
and you'd boot me out.
