I think the “BS” test has to do with drawing legs. Basically if you can see the ankle bones on the contour, treat it as a front view and use a “B” for the gesture line. If you can’t see the ankle bones on the contour, treat it as a side view and use an “S” shape for the gesture. On a front view where the leg is bent, use two straight lines for the inside lines, creating basically a bent “B” shape. On a side view where the leg is bent, use an exaggerated “S” shape.

Burne Hogarth talks about this in his book “Dynamic Figure Drawing,”and Steve mentions in one of his videos that he studied with Hogarth.
