There are multiple tests in the Hobbit as he makes allies and enemies on the way Bilbo's first test is stealing treasure from the trolls. later he is tested with the goblins, Gollum, spiders, and wood elves. Each test reveals more about Bilbo and how he will accomplish the quest given to him, stealing back the gold from Smaug's lair. With the Goblins he shows he is capable by warning Gandalf before the attack. With Golem we see that he can use his wits. The Spiders test his abilities as a leader and warrior. During his time with the wood elves we learn about his approach or adopting of new ideas.
