Test match contains much more energy,cool and calm mind with accuracy in their play. Batsmen have to stand for a long time on the crease to give a good score. So test match is called test match because it is the real test of the players.
There are many reasons which cause the batsmen to play slow in test cricket: Firstly, the Red ball. The Red ball swings a lot more than the white ball, so it's a lot more difficult to play attacking shots against the red ball. To elaborate further the pitch in a test match changes over the course of the game.
