I don't much appreciate these types of questions where you expect an exact answer based on your own phrasing/ideas. If running through a form with questions like this, leave space for open-ended answers to give the person a chance to phrase and explain in his own ways. Don't let the final "pass" or "no pass" fall to a HR person who can't fully appreciate or know the details and see the actual clue in an unexpected answer. You might lose a lot of really good candidates by being too harsh on that. Its benefical to build a team of clued people with the right personality, interest and mentality to what they do rather than seek people who has taught themselves how to answer certification tests in a way they know the creator of the test expects them. :) Hire for attitude, train for skill! -- /ahnberg.
