Imma give my 2 cents. So the thing is right, ohetsu sent them down to fight the Asauchi. The challenge there isn’t the Asauchi beating them or not, it’s to see if they will get accepted or not. That’s what’s the test is about. However, them being relative via fighting the same Asauchi isn’t contingent on if the test was of power or of character, really.Again, the Asauchi challenge is heavily implied by Ohetsu not to test the individual's strength or how much they understand their power ('cause during the challenge they're not even using their zampakuto (their power), they're both broken and unusable). The test is instead implied to test their conviction in themselves/their own identity - it's the whole reason Ohetsu sent Ichigo away to find himself in the first place, and why he aced the test once he returned
