What I mean is that not every test is about a certain outcome and that every test really comes down to each of the individual's actions kind of like a sports match. A professional sports team is made with players in many different positions in order to tackle any given outcome. So that in mind a light bearer does not necessarily need to have amazing shinsoo control to become a ranker and we see this with the higher ranked guide. It is obvious that the Zahard princess traveling with the guide is stronger in battle, yet, the guide is higher ranked I believe. Now in the first few floors it is really about the team working together to complete the tests but as you go higher up the harder the individual tests become which is why instead of 7-8 regulars becoming rankers per year it is 1-2 which kind of shows how after a certain point it comes down to the individual member rather than the team as a whole.
