Post title: Sfera testing environment
The test was nothing more (and nothing less) than the typical proficiency test developed by Sfera, which has been used by a bunch of vendors before. Even Netflix used it when they were looking for new translators last year. It's not the first time they are reaching out to freelance translators directly and therefore I'm sure they won't "cut out the middle-man". As project management is a real hassle they will gladly leave it with the vendors.
Anyway, the whole testing thing seems be a bit ill-conceived as a lot of people i know were encountering technical problems (including myself), don't know where to look for the results and so on and so forth...
