Years ago I went for an interview and then was asked to do a test, on the spot. I didn't know there was a test involved when I went for the interview. They brought me into the office and gave me two hours to work up a mockup for a website.
Those were a valuable two hours though, as I learned a few things.
1. I could work well under pressure (as the computer crashed and I lost about 40 mins worth of work)
2. I could think on the spot
3. Most importantly, I learned I didn't ever want to work for that company. The office was a fucking dead zone with everyone working in complete silence, no music, no talking.
On the up side, I got offered the job, politely declined and got a cheque in the post for the hours spent doing the test. So they weren't all bad.
