Is there a test for "Good GA Pilot"

I was chatting with a fellow at the local flying school when he asked the question in the title of this thread

My reply:

There is absolutely a test to separate the good pilots from the rest. It is before you start the engine I will cover the airspeed indicator.

You will then takeoff fly a normal circuit and perform a normal landing with the correct landing attitude. at the chosen touch down point and on centerline with the aircraft straight.

If you can do that you are IMHO a "good pilot"
