Is this used to determine my skill level or is it used as a disqualifier? Any feedback
Multi time is multi time...It could be a CRJ or a piper apache, its still multi time. I would imagine that since multi-engine airplanes are generally faster than singles, it says something for your experience level if you have 300 hours going 180+ kts versus 10 hours. Not to mention the whole single engine operation and critical engine stuff if you've got props. Of course, some multi time is much better than others, I'm just trying to answer why they ask about multi time.
