This article deals with the hypothesis test for the extremely heavy-tailed distributions with infinite mean or variance by using a truncated sample mean. We obtain three necessary and sufficient conditions under which the asymptotic distribution of the truncated test statistics converges to normal, neither normal nor stable or converges to -∞ or the combination of stable distributions, respectively. The numerical simulation illustrates an application of the theoretical results above in the hypothesis testing.
