I ask those questions, but that's because I'm trying determine the candidate's ability to self-evaluate.
I like to ask them what they think their skill level is with something I'm familiar with, then throw a few questions at them to figure out where I feel like they are. This is especially important when I'm trying to get someone on-board with a skill set my team doesn't have but we really needs some help in.
