I spent six years at another Oxford college. All Souls is an odd institution, very closed to the outside, and I was never blown away by any of its fellows. From people I know who've taken the test, apparently the dinner at the end is the most crucial part, where they basically decide whether they want to socialise with you for the next six years.
If the like you personally or not is the crucial factor?

I'm not surprised, the test seemed very subjective.
