Well, from what I understood from the text (which were mostly the symbols, my Spanish sadly isn't what it used to be), this looks exactly like the tests I used to get in my Advanced Logic class (which was offered in my Philosophy department, mind you), and I'm a philosophy major. So I'd say he/she would just do the test (and enjoy it a heck of a lot too, in my case). :)
Look, I think I understand what you're trying to say here, and admittedly some, and maybe even a lot of philosophy majors probably detest the subject of Formal Logic, but most, if not all trained (analytic) philosophers these days have a very decent background in Logic, and not just the syllogism-stuff, I'm talking Formal Logic here, very similar in nature to the stuff you would encounter in your average Computer Science curriculum. I'm sorry, but I think you might have to revise your beliefs about Philosophy a bit, it sounds like you've experienced the bad stuff (of which there is quite some to be found, I'll be the first to admit), and not the Philosophy I'm familiar with.
