Reading the title, i genuinely thought we were turning the tables on recruiters and having them complete some tests for us developers so we can assess if they know what they're talking about or not. I got excited for a second.

It would actually be a good idea to test whether a headhunter is genuinely interested in having a discussion with you or is just spamming emails hoping to fish something.
At least a couple of questions for recruiters would be awesome. It is so bad to be "evaluated" by someone that doesn't know what is talking about...
+1 yup. I bet it would be super interesting to see which of those "We help screen candidates even before you see CV's" agencies would refuse/fail some simple questions about the field
A happy accident? I could do that.
