Came here just to confirm this. I got all right but it doesn't seem to be valid test for hiring. Fun quiz! :)

Can confirm. I'm a terrible programmer but got 100%. I guess it selects for people with very unfocused careers and no real specialism.

One could as easily argue that it selects for people who closely follow Hacker News - I got 15/15 too, but only because I'd previously seen several of the more esoteric languages mentioned here.

Yup, it's not a test for hiring
