In the condition if I click, I should get the element I click on. And I get it.
But if I compare it with myself, I get false why.

Answer 1

because it event.targetreturns native HTMLElementand $('.test') is a jquery wrapper that is not a DOM element.
It is checked like this:

$(document).on("click", event => {
  let test = event.target;
  console.log(
    test instanceof HTMLElement, // true
    $('.test') instanceof HTMLElement // false
  )
});
