macos – How can I create a bootable USB persist with OS X 10.15.7?

I am making an attempt to create a bootable USB persist with the Apple {Hardware} Check for my MacBook Professional 13″ mid 2012 (MacBookPro9,2)

I used the directions right here, however it appears that evidently the USB Stick I get shouldn’t be bootable.

The truth is, if I right-click Info in Onerous Disk Utility, it lists “bootable: no” and if I attempt to boot and maintain the choice key, the usb drive shouldn’t be listed there, however I don’t see how I might change this…

Right here is the information from Disk Utility in regards to the USB stick – “startfähig” (=”bootable”) -> “Nein” (no)
Disk Utility Info about USB stick

And right here is the verbose output of the bless command

sudo bless --folder /Volumes/USBstick/ --file /Volumes/USBstick/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics/diags.efi --label AHT --verbose

Right here is the output of bless –info for the USBstick:
