On a somewhat more serious note, I simply tell the interviewer what I did with that particular skill and let them draw their own conclusion on my skillset. In a previous job, I was helping screen Microsoft admins. All I did for the practical part of my test was give them a fresh Windows 2003 VM and have them set up a domain from scratch and then connect another XP workstation (from scratch) to that domain. That's it. Pretty simple, eh? You'd be surprised how many MCSEs (or so they said) had major problems with this very simple step. One dude had never done it before, googled, and even found out that he had to put DNS to himself (127.0.0.1, along with setting up DNS and setting up 4.2.2.1 as a forwarder) for AD to work properly. I was impressed, as he did not know AD did this or that 4.2.2.1 was a public DNS until he started on my test (many of the MCSEs did NOT do this, and then wondered why it took forever and a day to log in the domain!). This same dude later emailed me some cool links that showed how interconnected DNS and AD. Those are the types of people with whom I want to work. On all of the written tests I've given candidates, I've told them that they could email me that night with any answers they got wrong, along with URLs of where they found it. I usually cut some slack on those who sent me back URLs of answers they got wrong.
