I have an issue with this - i don't lie. Not in CV, not in interviews. We're not managers, we cannot talk our way out of tasks given to us, and most of us who are worth at least a pinch of salt are not desperate to get job X.

But I understand that if your experience is as it is, this is probably correct approach.

Well, I don't either. That makes it much better for me that people use a test that separates liars from honest people.

Yes, the phrasing is bad, but it is a very understandable hyperbole.
