Folktale, which have developed and enriched in the oral tradition since the very ancient times of history, are important narratives that have both universal and national traces. Tales, which contain traces of the life and culture of societies, tell us these traces through motifs, which are the smallest part. Motifs are elements that have the power of continuous existence in tradition. The motifs, which have unprecedented and striking features, give important clues about the message that the narrative wants to convey. One of the main motifs we encounter in fairy tales is the test motif. The test motif is one of the motifs applied in tales with a complex structure and chain events. This motif appears in many forms in Turkish folk tales. When we examine a total of seventy tales in Pertev Naili Boratav's books, Az Gittik Uz Gittik and Zaman Zaman İçinde, the main subject of the study, the test motif, is frequently encountered in the narratives. Since a more complex structure and chained events are seen in tales whose heroes are humans, giants, fairies, and extraordinary creatures, it has been determined that the test motif is seen more in these tales and less frequently in animal tales
