Are you not reading what I'm saying?

" No one mentioned anything about beatimg the spirit out. Hulked out on stiles and forcefully bite him, where are you getting this from? I didn't say any of that."

You said this: "There was no reason for him to test out his new abilities", how about the fact that Kincaid could've killed him and Stiles was being possessed, some people would call that the prefect chance to test his new powers."

''Emphasis on Stiles being possessed. How, pray tell, would Scott using his Alpha powers have prevented that? How could he test his powers on a SPIRIT possessing his friend?''

" He didn't have to kill Kincaid, he just needed to stop him. Scott could've done exactly what the twins did, kick Kincaid's ass and take the scroll but he didn't bc he couldn't"

Because he couldn't control his Alpha strength. He got his Alpha spark spontaneously at the end of 3A.

" It being peaceful is irrelevant, its always peaceful towards the beginning of the season, BH being peaceful has nothing to do with Scott's powers"

The time gap between 3A and 3B is, at the least, a couple of months. That means no monsters, besides the 'wolves, obviously, no urgent situation requiring 'wolf strength/abilities. Scott's shtick is that, despite his wolf powers, he wants to live a relatively normal life. He's a human-turned-werewolf, not a wolf-turned-human. If he seems stronger as a Beta, it's because he started as a Beta and grew used to those abilities. Spontaneously turning into an Alpha and months of not using enhanced 'wolf abilities means he won't know how to properly use his new Alpha abilities.

Also, keep in mind that the only experience he has with Alphas are:

His own Alpha, Peter, being a friggin' psycho that wants power and wants to kill things.

The Alpha pack: killed his friends, almost got his mother AND his girlfriend and friend's fathers killed, and tried to use him to kill someone.

AND: Derek, who was actually a crappy Alpha and tried to get Scott to submit to him on numerous occasions. However, he can be ommitted because Scott at least sort-of trusted him and sought his advice in season 4.

For the most part, he's scared of becoming like Peter, so he doesn't want to use his Alpha strength too much. His fears are practically confirmed when he sees the Alpha Pack and how evil they are, so he would, logically, think Alpha powers would corrupt him if he used them or relied on him.
