That cannot be true. JLPT1 isn't even close to being native level.
Well, I suppose maybe they ask you to write some kanji native Japanese people (particularly college kids) cannot write since they type all day instead.
You want hardcore? The kanji kentei level 1. The KK1 requires you to know SIX THOUSAND kanji. It's like Japanese lit PhD level. Tons of specialized kanji you never see anywhere. Only about 30 Japanese natives pass it each time it is taken. I have no idea if non-natives ever take it.
A college educated Japanese person would only pass pre-2 with a tiny bit of studying.
