Men in Black fan theory

So I recently rewatched this for the millionth time and I know there are a lot of fan theories around Jay's selection and that the written test was actually a test to see who would use the table and the that Jay actually passed the shooting gallery. I think this is wrong. I think he failed the written test and the shooting gallery but that's not the point.

I think the whole selection was purely for Jay. The other recruits from the Navy, airforce and marines etc were all part of test too. They were never his competition.

"The best of the the best of the best, sir" type guys were there to put pressure on him. He was just an average new york cop. Kay wanted to see how he reacted to the other guys and if their authority would influence him or if they would intimidate him.

Even when he took Jay to see the fence and shot his head off. Jay wasn't conditioned to follow Kay as an authority figure. He instantly pointed his gun at Kay and sided with someone who he knew was a sleazy criminal because it was the right thing.

When Zed says "he has a problem with authority" that's exactly what Kay wanted to show him. He was a free thinker and his decision making wasn't clouded by authority, convention or peer pressure. Kay knew he wouldn't be able to compete academically or in combat with these guys which is exactly why he chose these guys to prove his point.
