Dropbox StaffIt looks like the /Test folder isn't a shared folder (e.g., looking at the icon, which is folder, but would be folder_user for shared folders). It sounds like you mean you only shared it via a shared link. These are actually two different kinds of sharing that Dropbox offers, and include_membership only applies to the former.
Specifically, "shared folders" refers to this feature:

And "shared links" (which is what /shares returns) refers to this feature:
https://www.dropbox.com/help/167
If you've only shared the folder/files using shared links, they don't have any membership to report.
