Is This Normal or Am I Wrong? (Patreon)

So, I had an interview today with a company, another secretarial type of job from the sounds of it. I applied through indeed, they called me up to schedule the interview and for some reason instead of emailing me they texted me. When I got there, they had me fill out an application even though they already had my resume and the application asked for everything my resume already had on it. If they wanted me to do it on the computer I could have understood to have it in their system but to write it down again was the first red flag. Then this guy comes up to me in a t-shirt and dirty jeans and for a second I thought he was the janitor and needed to clean around the table I was sitting at but instead he was the guy interviewing me and instead of a mask he had a scarf wrapped around his head which was really weird. He takes me up to the second floor and immediately removes it which made me uncomfortable and then hands me a list of tasks to do and calls it a skills test, make copies, file things away, stuff envelopes, etc. He told me that I should take 30 minutes to an hour to do as much as I could and then the interview would continue. Now for the first time I was fully prepared, had my resume printed, references, and even endorsements from the temp job and company I just worked for of the great work I did and skills I had. So, I handed that all to him and told him and if he wanted to know my skill set and work ethic that these should suffice and that I didn't do free labor. If he wanted to offer me something for the work I was about to do, I would happily do it but if not, this would prove my abilities. He looked at me, took the papers and told me he would show me the way out and walked me out the building. Was I wrong?
