When the heroes know they're being tested, but the purpose of the test isn't what they think it is. Subtrope of False Crucible.
This is commonly done in Real Life psychological tests, to get around people giving the answers they think the tester wants to see. It's harder to do that if you don't know the true purpose of the test. Unlike secret tests, the hero does know they're being tested, so there's less need to go to elaborate, and unsafe, lengths to fake danger.
This is related to Danger Room Cold Open, since in both cases the heroes know they're being tested, but that trope applies when the viewer doesn't know it's a test, irrespective of whether the test has a hidden purpose. Compare and Contrast with Kansas City Shuffle, where characters know they are being tricked, but have the wrong idea about what the con is. Often overlaps with Wax On, Wax Off and When You Snatch the Pebble, especially when an Old Master sets a bizarre test whose true purpose is to encourage a specific type of training. May also overlap with Secret Test of Character in cases where an apparent test of skill is actually an evaluation of the subject's moral fitness. May take the form of an Unwinnable Training Simulation if the test is meant to determine how the subject responds to death and/or extreme pressure.

The U.A. entrance exam in The Emerald Phoenix has the massive zero-point robot also have a clause that will cost all of an applicant's points if they engage it at all. The teachers muse that the real purpose of the robot is to see what the applicants will do in a situation with nothing to gain and everything to lose. Izuku is the only one to fight the robot, in order to save the trapped Uraraka, and thus earns the most Hero Points out of everyone.

Parodied in Mort when Death orders his new apprentice to muck out the stables. After the task is done, Death asks Mort why he had been given this task. Mort correctly comes up with the following reason: because the stables were filthy and needed to be mucked out.
Played straight with Death's response that Mort is showing clarity of thought and a realistic approach, which is important in Death's job. So it was a Test - the Test was to spot that there was no ulterior motive for getting Mort to clean the stables, and to ensure that Mort had the correct mindset for being Death's apprentice.

In the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Demons", Elliot must pretend to be a pedophile to help root out another, and Huang is coaching him on how to fake a psychological test where they will show them various images and ask them to rate them. Elliot starts saying that it's obvious, then realizes that, no, an actual pedophile wouldn't rate the kids higher, then pauses. Then Huang tells him that the scores they give are irrelevant, the test measures how long you spend watching each image.

Who Wants to Be a Superhero? was fond of using these.
One week, the contestants were told they had to secretly change into their costumes and make their way through a busy park to a particular spot within a time limit. Along the way they passed a young girl who was crying. The contestants who stopped to help her, blowing their time limit, were the ones who passed.
There was also a test where they were asked to nominate a contestant to be eliminated and explain their reasoning. All but two recommended themselves, as they'd gotten to know each other a little by now. (It is also acknowledged that some may have realized the true purpose of the question.) Of the remaining two; one recommended another player he really liked, but had noticed struggling with some of the challenges, while the other felt the person they'd chosen had perhaps a bit "too much dedication" to the hero role.
In another test, the heroes were sent to a diner one at a time, allegedly to test what kind of "heroic breakfast" they would order. While there, the person behind the counter made casual conversation with each of them, including asking their names. It was later revealed that several of them were caught on hidden camera casually revealing their secret identities. The one who was eliminated introduced herself with her real name.

Three Kingdoms:
When Cao Chong becomes gravely ill and dies after being bitten by "poisonous rats", his father Cao Cao is enraged when he learns that as their brother was dying his other sons Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were out hunting and drinking with friends respectively. He has them sit to watch over Chong's body, ostensibly so they can display proper filial piety. He then quietly observes them, because he strongly suspects that whoever actually set Chong up to be assassinated. He sees Zhang and Zhi have nodded off... but his other son Cao Pi (who was "coincidentally" bitten by poisonous rats as well) is still wide-awake.
After a rebellion breaks out in his capital of Xu city and is suppressed, he assembles all the city officials and instructs them to gather under a red flag and a white flag according to whether they tried to help suppress the rebellion and put out fires or simply stayed put at home. He then rails at the ones under the red flag, pointing out that they were civil officials and would've been useless at trying to fight the rebels, therefore they were either conspirators or hoping to take advantage of the chaos to see if he was dead so then they could claim to be on the rebels' side if the rebels won. He has all of them executed on the spot. He also suspected his son Cao Pi of being involved in the rebellion, but since he personally saw Pi fighting the rebels alongside his more martial brother Zhang he decides not to take action.

In an episode of Lie to Me, one of the Lightman group believes a witness to a crime has "change blindness" - that is to say that if she looks at something, then looks away and then looks at it again, she is unaware of anything that has changed since she first looked. Torres and Loker play her a video and ask her to describe it. She describes it perfectly to Torres and a man she had never seen before who took Loker's place while she was watching the video.

In Season Two of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson assigns Skye the job of decoding the alien writing that both Garrett and Coulson took to carving after being injected with the GH-325 serum, and that was also carved into the Obelisk. In the episode "A Hen in the Wolf House", we learn the true purpose of the assignment - Coulson only started carving the alien writing after seeing what Garrett carved "triggered" something in him, and he's been monitering Skye - who was also previously injected with the GH-325 serum - to see if the writing triggered anything in her.

MythBusters:
In one episode, various staff members were asked to take part in a observation test, identifying what item of Adam or Jamie's clothes changed each time they disappeared and reappeared behind a curtain. It actually was an observation test, but the point was to see if anyone noticed that the figure wasn't actually Adam or Jamie, but one of them posing as the other by wearing their clothes and a realistic latex mask of the other's head.
A similar test was performed earlier in the episode on members of the general public (requirements: they'd watched the show, but didn't know Adam or Jamie personally). Their test was to shine a laser at a target, with Adam or Jamie standing off to the side of that target taking notes. Of course, it was actually Jamie or Adam disguised as the other, and the purpose of the test was to see if the test subjects would see through the disguise.
A later episode involved test subjects being given directions to a site where the test would purportedly take place. In fact, these directions included a nonexistent street, and the test was actually whether or not the test subject would stop to ask for directions, and helped prove the inverse of the old myth that men won't stop for directions.

Naruto loves doing this:
Hatake Kakashi sets up a test where three fresh ninja recruits have to steal bells from him... which is totally impossible. The day before, he told them to skip breakfast without explaining the exercise, under the premise that it'd make them throw up otherwise, so they'd be hungry during the test, and then busts one of them trying to sneak food. The test is actually to see whether they will break the rules and feed their starving team mate, since ninja who fail missions are trash, but ninja who don't look out for each other are "lower than that!"
The first stage of the Chuunin Exam is just finding the room for it by seeing through an illusion technique. The final question is given at the end with the condition that once you've heard the question, if you get it wrong you instantly fail and can never take the exam again. However, you can quit and try again next year, but this also makes your teammates fail. There is no question, it's just a test to see if you'll risk yourself for your teammates' benefit.
During a filler episode, its revealed that the dreaded "final question" in the chuunin exam one year was subtly different. In this version, if you get the question wrong, you're still fine but your teammates are stuck as genin forever. Agreeing to continue means you fail, as once again, the purpose of the question is to determine who will sacrifice their teammates for their own benefit.
The first nine questions are themselves a hidden purpose test of skill: The questions are too difficult for most genin to know, but there are two fake candidates taking the test. There are proctors watching the candidates, and any genin caught cheating five times is automatically failed, along with their team. The key to passing the test is to figure out how to get the answers without getting caught, as a test of the ninja's information-gathering skills. The proctors merely pretend not to notice some of the cheating (Ibiki notices that Gaara is up to something, but gives him a pass as he can't figure out what), but presumably give penalties for what they consider to be substandard information gathering.
Both Naruto and Sakura managed to pass via accidental Loophole Abuse. Neither of them got caught cheating because they simply didn't cheat in the first place - Sakura was smart enough to answer the questions legitimately, and Naruto left his page blank. Due to the way the Chuunin Exam rules worked (you automatically pass if you make it to the tenth question and answer that correctly), he passes despite not having done anything.

On Community, a group of students, including Troy and Abed, sign up for a psychological experiment by Professor Duncan, and are told to wait to be called. What they don't know is that waiting for the experiment is the experiment; Duncan is testing them to see how long it takes for each one to lose their patience and storm out. One by one all the subjects snap and leave - all except Abed, who just sits there calmly. Eventually Duncan is the one who cracks waiting for Abed to crack.

It turns out he was always a wizard. The gift was how he got his British accent.

Food Wars! has the Stagiaire, a month-long period where the first-years of Tootsuki are sent off to various professional kitchens to work for them for a week. However, the objective isn't simply to get experience working in a real restaurant. The true objective is to leave "visible results", in other words, to prove that they can do more than what was just simply assigned and leave a lasting impact on their assigned restaurant (such as making a new dish or permanently solving problem the kitchen had been facing). Beyond even that, the student is also expected to surpass their own limitations and learn something new during this period.

Freefall: Doctor Bowman, Florence's creator, offers to artificially inseminate her with an embryo he has on ice. When she turns him down because it would be a bad environment for the puppy, Bowman admits that the point of the offer was to see if she would choose based on what was best for her or what was best for the species. Choosing what was best for the species was the "correct" answer, but Florence's concern for the pup proves that she's more capable of empathy than previous Uplifted Animal experiments, which satisfies Bowman.
Also this is a subtle case of Artistic License – Biology: "the species" is an artificial construct (in Florence's case - literally, but the point stands), and when it comes to procreation the progeny's prosperity is what's best for your species by virtue of natural selection, so, in essence, Florence's answer was better than Bowman's. You might say that Dr. Bowman failed his own test where she succeeded.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a rebellion occurred in Cao Cao's capital city of Xu Chang, coupled with much burning. When it was over, Cao gathered all the officials in the city. Those who left their homes to put out the fires were told to stand under a red flag; those who stayed in their homes were told to stand under a white flag. This was a trap: Cao assumed that all of the people who left their homes were really assisting the rebellion and would use the idea of "putting out fires" as an excuse.

Whateley Universe:
The series once had its own version of the Kobayashi Maru. However, the test's purpose is the same. Teach Team Kimba that they cannot win everything. They were hit with a Total Party Kill.
In her first year and a half at Whateley, Loophole had been so careful to avoid confrontation that her mutant powers remained only partly active, and she fought in court to be legally considered a baseline human. In the first Combat Final of her sophomore year, she goes so far as to refuse to fight, and talks her opponent into joining her. This leads Gunny Bardue, the adminstrator of the Combat Final, to change the parameters of the test: instead of facing each other, they would instead be attacked by simulated opponents with the safeties off (he does turn them back on partway through, but doesn't tell them that). His real goal is to force Loophole's mutation to fully activate - which it does - but she's only told about that part afterwards. In a half-twist, she still manages to get away with Taking a Third Option by using her Technopath powers to attack the simulation rather than fighting their opponents, but the only reason she's given a passing grade - despite having cheated - is that it provided the powers researchers a wealth of new information about mutant activation.

Mention is made in Lords and Ladies of the "Monks of Cool", a sect of monks who believe in being cool at all times. To test initiates, they are brought into a room containing every imaginable type of clothing and asked which outfit is the coolest. The correct answer is "Whichever one I put on".

Shikako realizes that Kakashi has ulterior motives for telling her and her teammates not to eat before their first test, along with recognizing the true purpose of the bell test. She warns Naruto about ahead of time, and explains to Sasuke afterwards.
When Shikako warns her teammates about a possible ambush while they're traveling to the Land of Waves, Kakashi asks her to describe what she's feeling. This is implied to be because he's attempting to gauge just how powerful a sensor she is.

Young Doctors in Love: The urine tasting scene. It starts as a re-enactment of an old joke where a teacher (Ludwig) teaches interns to not be squeamish: he puts his finger in the urine sample, licks it and tells its composition. The lesson is: they should have noticed he licked another finger. Immediately, it gets derailed by Burns, who vocally insists that he has quit drinking, and August, who pulls the same trick as Ludwig, but persuades Ludwig to taste the urine for real.

In The Mysterious Benedict Society a group of children take an entrance exam for a gifted program. The exam is 40 multiple-choice questions that are absurdly complicated and deal with information no child would know (except Sticky, who becomes The Smart Guy of the Society). The purpose of the test is not to see what the children know but how well they follow directions. At the start they're told to read every question before answering. Main character Reynie decides to take the instructions literally and reads the whole test without trying to answer any questions. He discovers that question 21 told the answer to #1 and vice versa, #22 and #2 contained each other's answers, etc. Thus he finished the test while everyone who tried to do one question at a time ended up confused and frustrated.

On Xena: Warrior Princess, an arrogant new warlady wants to replace Xena as Ares' favored human, so he lets the two of them fight it out in a special isolated dimension. Ares says that either of them can just call his name at any time if they need his help. Eventually the other warlady does so, and Ares appears only to reveal that by being the first who had to call for help, she's lost. "I said you could. I didn't say you should."

On Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a group of Jedi younglings is taken to a cave on Ilum to find their lightsaber crystals, and given until the ice wall that normally blocks the cave reforms to accomplish the task. As each Jedi discovers, the true challenge is not finding the crystal and making it back on time, but that they have to overcome some sort of character flaw (impatience, fear, etc.) to get their crystal. The last to return even proves the ice wall isn't as firm a time limit as they had been led to believe by breaking through it before it can freeze too thickly.

In The Recruit, the protagonist is captured, beaten and tortured by men who demand he tell them the name of his CIA handler. Eventually he does, immediately after which it is revealed to be a test. He is made to leave the training facility on the pretext that he failed the test, but is later told that the other recruits were made to believe that because he's been selected for covert assignments. The test was in fact to see how long he could hold out and wasn't going to stop until he gave in. He actually lasted longer than any recruit in a long time.

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the quest to join the Dark Brotherhood involves being told to figure out which of three people has a contract out for his or her murder, then fulfill that contract. After you've finished the job, you learn that your answer was irrelevant to your employer; she simply wanted to find out whether you would commit murder on her orders. She remarks approvingly if you kill all three, and if you kill her instead, you unlock a new quest to eradicate the Dark Brotherhood.

In the Xanth novel Ogre, Ogre, Smash goes through several of these with the Night Horse (ruler of the Night Mares). He dies or seems to fail in all of them, but the real point of the tests is whether or not he gives up, despite how hopeless they are.

Star Trek:
The novel Kobayashi Maru has an example that does not involve the famous no-win scenario. One section is the story of Chekov when he was a cadet and his class were taken to a training area, assigned stunners, and told that one of the cadets had been secretly designated as a hostile traitor who would, if given the opportunity, attack the others. All the cadets immediately start hunting one another down, with Chekov being the last survivor. The officer reveals that the cadets have all failed, and tells Chekov what his hero, Jim Kirk, did. Kirk organized the cadets into a single group with everyone present, all the weapons were confiscated and placed under guard, and the only cadets armed and allowed to be out of sight were the ones paired on guard duty at any given time. Kirk's reasoning was that if someone not assigned to guard duty tried to grab a weapon or sneak away from the group, they'd out themselves as the traitor. Since the guards were in pairs, if only one of a pair returned from duty, that person would also prove they're the traitor. After telling Chekov how Kirk did it, the officer then reveals that, of course, no cadet was The Mole at all.
In The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard, Picard says he failed to enter Starfleet Academy after a training simulation went wrong, despite the fact it was clearly the fault of the other applicants, who didn't seem to understand anything, however much he barked orders at them. Someone points out to him that it could have secretly been a psych test, but he doesn't see how that would work either. The next year, when he retakes the simulation and has exactly the same crew, he realises something's going on. He asks them if they know what they're doing now, and they say they're fully trained. He's about to start giving orders again, when he realises that if they're fully trained and he isn't, they should be taking the lead. However, writing this in the future, Picard admits that at the time he was just pleased to have deciphered the "trick", rather than actually taking the lesson.

The Sofia the First episode "The Princess Test" adapts an Urban Legend about a test performed by a (typically Christian or otherwise values-based) university, wherein students are told to arrive at a certain location to take a test. In this case, the eponymous Princess Test. On the way there, the students pass the librarian, who requests that they help her carry her books home. Each of the princesses politely apologizes, since they have to make it to the test. Sofia is the only one who agrees to help. On the way, the librarian repeatedly takes up more of her time and "accidentally" ruins each of the things she's certain will help her pass the test (having a spotless gown, twirling her fan correctly, etc.), while also offering to let her leave to take the test. Sofia remains helping the librarian, only to find herself transported to the test upon reaching her cabin. The real test was to see whether the girls possessed the princessly trait of compassion, being willing to sacrifice their own goals for the sake of someone else. That said (because this is a Disney Junior show), all the other girls who took the traditional test pass as well, Sofia just gets highest marks and a trophy.
Also invoked accidentally in the episode "The Emerald Key," wherein Sofia's family sets up a test to see which of the identical "Princess Lalani"s is the real one, thereby receiving the eponymous key Sofia happened to find earlier. The tests (set up by Amber) are set up to test traditional princess attributes, like dancing the waltz, graciously accepting a gift from a "visiting diplomat," and... quickly making it through a maze. King Roland, the ultimate authority in the contest, doesn't intend any hidden meaning in the tests. He'd accept winning two out of three challenges outright as confirmation. Sofia, on the other hand, realizes that one competitor (nicknamed Lani) has been consistently behaving with the dignity and compassion befitting a princess, even when she wasn't being directly tested, thereby pegging her as the real princess. However, Sofia's unable to convince her family of this, so when Lani loses the final challenge, Roland gives the key to the other one. It isn't until the reveal that the impostor cheated to win the final challenge that the rest of the royal family realizes this was behavior unbecoming a real princess and move to correct their mistake.

So common in the X-Wing Series that basically any training exercise that's actually shown in detail is almost definitely not training the skill the trainees think it is. Of course, there are classical military versions, like the sim in Wraith Squadron that's actually a drill on responding to changing battle conditions, i.e., the chain of command being destroyed. Wedge is also fond of running pilots who fall into the smug ace type through a test that's either strictly impossible without help from their wingmate, or gives an advantage to subsequent fliers (with the jock going first) to demonstrate that the squadron's success during the mission is more important than the individual's accolades. This comes to its natural conclusion in Starfighters of Adumar when he uses simulated dueling to teach Adumari pilots about the New Republic combat ethic.

Victorious: All students at Hollywood Arts must pass a test called "The Bird Scene". This involves acting out a scene, following which the teacher tells the student whether they passed or failed, but does not tell them after a failure what they did wrong, and those who have passed aren't allowed to share either. It turns out that the teacher tells them they failed no matter what; after her third attempt, Tori angrily tells the teacher she did a good job no matter what he says. He then tells her she passed, and that the point was for her to stand up for and believe in her own art.

Steven Universe: in "The Test", Steven finds out that the Sea Spire mission (shown in the earlier episode "Cheseburger Backpack") was a Secret Test to see if he could handle more challenging missions, and that he failed it. He demands another test, which the Gems whip up for him. He aces it, only to discover that in fact it has been designed to be impossible to fail (the hidden purpose being not to test him but to boost his confidence). By eavesdropping on the Gems, though, Steven finds out that they're just as baffled about how to help him grow up as he is, and they're just doing their best. He forgives them and never lets on that he knew the test was rigged.

In the Book of Judges of the Bible, Gideon famously had his soldiers drink water in the wilderness and was told by the LORD to "Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink, putting their hands to their mouths." These men were sent on a special military mission. The rest went home and the small band which did just that massacred the Israelites' enemies. The text does not say whether the lapping was a sign of some characteristic of the men, so we cannot even be sure the test's purpose was known even to Gideon.
While the text itself doesn't give the explicit reason, some Bible commentators have suggested that the 300 who took up the water in their hands were more focused on the task of facing the enemy, as opposed to their companions who knelt down to drink. That kind of focus would naturally be critical for soldiers going into battle, which would explain why they were chosen.

In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, Rainbow Dash is willing to help Twilight Sparkle win the crown... on the condition that she get five soccer goals before Rainbow does. It goes about as well as you'd expect, considering it's Rainbow vs. Twilight, and a Twilight who has no magic and isn't quite used to human locomotion, to boot. Rainbow helps her anyway, because the true test was if Twilight would try to the very end, even if it seemed—and in this case, was—hopeless, a trait that had already been tested in Equestria, and would stand her in good stead through the rest of the adventure.

The Joe Schmo Show was, to its star Matt Gould, a Big Brother style experiment in which he had to use his charisma to stay on his housemates' good side and call upon potentially any skill in the challenges to increase his chances of winning by securing immunity from eviction. The premise was in fact that he thought he was in a reality show when in fact his housemates were all actors and the point was to see how he would react to a series of bizarre scripted scenarios.

Space Cadet (Heinlein):
Matt Dodson has to pass a series of tests to get into the Space Patrol. One of them requires him to stand over a milk bottle and drop beans into the bottle with his eyes closed. Matt ends up with only one bean in his bottle and sadly turns it in. He notices while standing in line that several people got many beans in their bottles, and after turning his in, he asks the examiner what would keep people from cheating by peeking. The examiner just smiles and says, "Nothing at all," much to Matt's disappointment. Then the narration says about Matt: "It did not occur to him that he might not know what was being tested."
Matt is given another test with a lever and buttons and whatnot, and an instruction sheet on how to score points — a game of sorts. He looks over the instructions, tries to figure out what combinations will allow him to score, and finds that none of them will. He takes it up with the examiner, who asks him if he's sure, and when he responds in the affirmative, glances at a timer and writes down his score.

Shadows House: The Living Shadow residents of the titular house are assissted by Living Dolls who are their personal servants in private and serve as their faces when they are out in public. Shadows are assigned their Living Doll some time before they participate in debut trials that, if successful, allow them to leave their room and mingle with other Shadows. Living Dolls themselves are in a I Don't Pay You to Think situation. On the way to the room in which some of the debut trials take place, the Living Dolls are asked why the hallway separating two parts of the house is quite long. The right answer, which nets the Shadow to which the Doll belongs a head start in their score at the trials, is to not give an answer and state the rule according to which Living Dolls are not supposed to have unnecessary thoughts.

In The Wheel of Time novel The Gathering Storm, Aviendha is training to become a Wise One. The other Wise Ones keep commenting that she is "learning too slowly" and assign her a variety of ridiculously pointless punishments, such as carrying heavy rocks from one side of a field to the other and back again. She obediently carries out her "punishments" but can't figure out what lesson she's supposed to be learning. When she finally stands up to the Wise Ones and refuses to accept her punishment, they accept her as one of their own. Aviendha learns at the same time the real problem with this kind of test (which the Wise Ones are well aware of): by acknowledging those and only those who claim they deserve to be acknowledged, the women who least deserve to be treated as Wise Ones are often the quickest to gain the title. And unsurprisingly (for this series and an all-female group), they don't want any rumor that Wise Ones ever disagree about anything - which means at least publicly supporting the actions of the more foolish or shortsighted "Wise Ones" to preserve their mystique.

In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney's flashback case, the defendant, Zak Gramarye, seemingly only accepts Phoenix Wright's request to be his lawyer after playing a game of poker - which Phoenix won. In truth, Zak was making use of the poker game to see how Phoenix played and see if he was trustworthy (which he was), but didn't tell him this until seven years after the events. This is also a Deconstruction when it is revealed that Zak had tested another lawyer, Kristoph Gavin, the same way. Zak discovered Kristoph's willingness for foul play and fired him because he found him to be untrustworthy, but he didn't explain his test to Kristoph. As a result, Kristoph believed he was passed over for Phoenix for losing a poker game, which ultimately got so ingrained in his psyche that he devoted himself to ruining the lives of the two men responsible.

My Hero Academia: In the U.A. entrance practical test, candidates earn Villain Points by defeating robots, and they need a certain minimum to pass. Izuku, due to a combination of his inexperience with combat, suffering damage from using his new powers and helping the other candidates, ends up failing to defeat a single robot with a point value assigned (he destroys a large robot, but its value was zero) and earning zero Villain Points. However, when he gets the results he learns that the test had a hidden part where candidates could earn Rescue Points for heroic actions such as saving others - and he has earned enough points that he passes. In contrast, Katsuki passes purely by destroying robots, and Tenya only guesses that there might be a hidden purpose test after he sees Izuku destroy the zero-point robot.

In the Covert Affairs episode "Bang and Blame", the heroine Annie returns to The Farm to complete her CIA training...and discover who's leaking cadets' names to terrorist websites. In one exercise, an instructor shows cadets a table full of various firearms, and tells them they can take one item to help them escape through a door at the other end of a maze. Each cadet picks a gun and blasts away at targets that pop up in doorways and windows. Annie uses the butt of a gun to break glass and remove a map of the maze. After studying it for a minute, she sneaks through the maze, ducking out of sight of the targets as they pop up. Because it's this trope, and that sort of show, only Annie passes the test. Firing a gun even once betrays the presence of an agent, who's supposed to slip in and out unnoticed.

Heavily implied to be the case for Polpo's test in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. The initiation to join Passione is that you are to keep a lighter lit for twenty-four hours. However, it's easier said than done. If the lighter goes out, that's when the true test begins as his Stand appears and pierces you with an arrow that either manifests a Stand of your own when hit or die from the strain. And if for whatever reason you are able to keep the lighter lit without issue, you are considered capable enough to be an asset to Passione.

The last chapters in the Touhou Project manga, Strange and Bright Nature Deity, had Yukari testing the three fairy protagonists via danmaku to see if they were fit to live in the very special tree they were planning to move in. After the three fairies were shot to hell and back and were ready to give up on the tree, Yukari revealed that she wasn't testing how strong they were, she was testing how weak they were. Yukari didn't want anything powerful and potentially troublesome inhabiting the tree because it was important to the border around Gensokyo. Since the three fairies proved themselves to be utterly pathetic in terms of power, they passed with flying colors.

Oglaf: the test of manhood, sort of. Unfortunately, the test never stopped... and it took place in a deadly testing area. Poor kid.

This trope is the entire foundation of the 2004 movie D.E.B.S., in which a secret test is hidden in the American S.A.T.s which measures the students' aptitude for spying. All girls who pass the hidden test are given the opportunity (which nobody, it seems, turns down) to become a D.E.B. It is not shown where the boys who pass the test are sent.

Hawkmoth Defeated: While Marinette figures out quickly that Robin is trying to test her and Adrien in some fashion, she doesn't realize just what he's looking for: how good they are at fighting without any Miraculous powers. Regardless, she's left rather annoyed by the whole ordeal.

A Final Unity: Upon entering the Unity Device, Picard, Pentara and Brodnack are all informed that they will be tested to see which among them is worthy of controlling it. The true intention of this test is to teach them that it must never be used at all. Especially Brodnack, as it's attempting to mentally prepare him to voluntarily help prevent the device from tearing the universe apart.

One Eye Full Of Wisdom: Every test that prospective members of Konoha's T&I bureau has some hidden aspect. For instance, Ibuki tells Sakura not to leave a room until he returns. After seemingly passing the test, they're informed that they can go; however, they realize the trick and refuse to exit until Ibuki finally comes back.

In the season 3 premiere of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Princess Celestia tests Twilight Sparkle to aid Princess Cadance in protecting the Crystal Empire from King Sombra, and specifically instructs her to fulfill this task by herself. When Twilight walks into a trap that renders this impossible, she passes the duty of saving the empire to Spike, who she only brought along on the condition he not lift a finger to help her. When Twilight comes back thinking she's failed her test, Celestia reveals the real test was to see if she was willing to sacrifice her self-interests for the needs of others, which she naturally passed.

Men in Black:
Potential recruits are shown taking a marksmanship test, with a mix of both alien and human targets in a street scene. James Edwards ignores the aliens, putting a single shot in the forehead of a little girl, and invokes this trope when ordered to explain his choice, claiming she was clearly the biggest threat. After all, what kind of little girl reads quantum physics textbooks and would be out alone at night on a city street full of alien monsters? Very suspicious. The movie leaves it up in the air as to whether Edwards is right or whether it's his other qualities - quick outside-the-box thinking, attention to detail, and willingness to challenge authority, among others - that lead Agent K to select Edwards as his replacement. The novelization (which deviates from the film in some areas) presents his reasoning as correct.
When presented with a multiple-choice test on paper with no flat surface to write on, Edwards very noisily drags a table over to his chair while everyone else stays where they are and struggles with the difficulty of pencilling in their answers on the floppy paper test sheets in their egg-shape chairs. After all, a member of the Men In Black can't be afraid of doing something that looks silly and stupid for the sake of completing their mission.

This occurs sometimes in The Mole, as it's a reality TV show that likes playing with its contestants' minds. As an example, one episode of the Belgian series' 6th season had one contestant be told that she needed to predict how each of the other contestants would react in a certain 'hidden camera' situation to gain money. She got all her predictions wrong and thought that this meant she didn't know her fellow contestants nearly as well as she thought, only to then be told that the other contestants had actually been briefed beforehand about their situations and how they had to do the reverse of what she'd predict for them to actually earn the money, so she really did know the other contestants as well as they knew her.

There was an Andromeda fanfic where Ione (an Avatar like Trance) and Harper argue over who should marry Trance. It is stated that the matter should be decided in a battle. Naturally, Ione beats Harper badly...after which it is announced that Harper is the winner, since he was more honorable (Ione refused to fight as an equal) and more determined (by refusing to surrender). There could never be any doubt about who's stronger.

The secret part is that Justine is actually testing herself.

In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfic Hell Hath No Fury, the hero agrees to face three tests, of body, mind and spirit. Only after going through all three does he discover what he thought was a test of body was actually a test of mind, the test of spirit actually a test of body, and the test of mind actually a test of spirit.

In the Star Wars Legends book The Jedi Path, mention is made of the Jedi Trials, a battery of five tests which a Jedi must pass to become a Knight. Three candidates are given an illusion of a great army marching towards them. One perceives the illusory nature of the army, and passes her Trial of Insight. One fights against overwhelming odds and simultaneously passes the Trials of Courage and Skill. One bows out, citing exhaustion, and fails to become a Knight.

Ars Magica: A House Tytalus wizard in the Order of Hermes once tested his apprentice by ordering him to open a special chest. The apprentice tried every spell he knew, only for the chest to shrug them all off, and finally conceded defeat. The master then walked over and opened the chest by hand, revealing that it was never locked. Not for nothing is Tytalus called the Trickster House.

The Utnapishtim section of The Epic of Gilgamesh is subtly implied to be this. Utnapishtim offers to share the secret of immortality with Gilgamesh if Gilgamesh can stay awake for seven nights straight. Gilgamesh falls asleep almost immediately, then, upon waking up, lies and claims to have been awake the whole time. If you're reading closely enough, the hint is pretty tough to miss: why did Gilgamesh fall asleep so fast? Because Utnapishtim somehow caused him to; the real test was to see if Gilgamesh would tell the truth.

Eyeshield 21 had Hiruma staging a test to eliminate the many people who want to join the team. The test is to carry a bag of ice to the top of Tokyo Tower within a day. However, Hiruma set it so it was very difficult (but not impossible) to reach the top. Such as adding sugar to the ice to make it melt faster, certain floors have the temperatures raised to alarming levels and being chased by Hiruma's vicious Angry Guard Dog. When asked about the unfairness of the test, Hiruma stated that he was looking for those with determination who could make it to the top, regardless of how difficult or challenging the test was. So Hiruma and co. waited until sundown for anyone who was strong-willed enough to fulfill the task no matter what. The last one is Yukimitsu, who arrives as the sun's setting and has lost all the ice in his bag, but makes it onto the team anyway.

YuYu Hakusho:
Genkai makes the interested applicants for her Spirit Training play video games. One is a karaoke machine, another a punching bag, and another a "rock-paper-scissors" type of game. The bag tests Spirit Energy, the karaoke machine tests how well they can sync up with the supernatural and the rock-paper-scissors game tests spiritual awareness.
Prior to this, Genkai weeds out potential students from rejects by way of a lottery. Each candidate receives an envelope with a piece of paper. Those with blank paper strips are sent home, while those with red strips advance. In truth, all of the strips start out blank. They only turn red if the candidate has a certain minimum amount of spirit energy.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
In "Coming Of Age", when Wesley is taking the Starfleet entrance exam his final test is "facing his biggest fear". While he's waiting for the test to start, a fire breaks out in a nearby lab and he can only save one of the techs working there. It turns out that that was the test, his fear was having to make a decision like that (since his father died in the exact same scenario). He knew there was going to be a test but he didn't know that the test was happening when it was happening.
In "Lower Decks", Worf teaches his fellow crew members the Mok'bara, and has an advanced class that you must test into. The test consists of defeating master Worf while blindfolded. Which of course means that the test really consists of removing the blindfold and standing up to Worf. (Worf gets bonus points for straight-facedly claiming that this is an ancient Klingon ritual, when actually he made it up on the spot to teach that particular ensign the lesson about standing up for herself in an unfair test.)
In "Thine Own Self", Deanna Troi repeatedly takes — and fails — the bridge officer's test, unable to come up with Technobabble fast enough to keep the ship from exploding during the holodeck simulation. She's only able to succeed when she realizes that the test is not whether she can memorize minutiae about the ship's operation but whether she can order someone who has the necessary knowledge to do the task knowing they'll die doing so. Perhaps more importantly, she doesn't jump right to ordering someone to their death; she exhausts every possible option first.
