Overall, i believe tests are very good. Look at how many People said "nah i don't do it". Are those possinly your next coworker always bitching on their assignments???
Tests are Standard in so many other creative disciplines like advertising and copywriting, so where is the problem? You pitch yourself or in the name of your Boss to get work, projects... compete with each other. What the market demands from you everyday is way more involved.
What i think is lame with the test is basically 2 things:
a) i would look into handing out tests after a personal Interview, that way you can Map and relate work to a human and not an iconmaker-Robot. You will also get the right people coming bck with results vs ppl just talking.
b) i think they should not ask people to mimic the FI style. But rather see the applicants own style. It's their opportunity to get New talent and not just another FIer templater. Also i believe it's their work to spot talent from the Tests and say "thIs Guys skills is so good He wil have no problem adapting various styles for our various Clients.
So all in all i'm for legit tests with slight changes :) Heck they did not ask for a blood and coordination test, they asked for somehing that somewhat reflects what awaits you in your daily grind.
