They also could have learned a single basic jutsu using that nature and that's it. They never trained in the nature's use and never bothered to use it because it didn't fit their fighting style, they just found out what they natures were and that's it. I thought this was the answer. That at some point that paper test was just standard practice. I'm shocked it didn't happen in the academy.

And the point of fighting styles was spot on. I'm not wasting time with a fireball when I can teleport and stab you.
