Greetings:

I know that some of you have used BrainBench (http://www.brainbench.com/) to
one extent or another, so I have some questions for you:

        1) How accurately do you believe the tests are in determining
           your skill level in any given topic?
        2) Have their certifications helped you to gain new employment?
        3) How much respect do you think these certifications are
           accorded by your average employer?

Of course, if anyone thinks favourably on #3, that takes the bottom out of the
CCNA/MCSE/etc. markets. ;-) These tests are definitely much cheaper.

So, what do you guys/gals think?
