2 To know [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction;
To discern and comprehend the words of understanding and insight,
3 To receive instruction in wise behavior and the discipline of wise thoughtfulness,

That is not offered as a test of spirits for other people, but for self-discernment (see the context of verse 11).
A simple practical example would suffice to show the inadequacy of God's Word for discerning the spirits.
It is impractical to test someone's spirit using God's Word.
