A "shyt test" is basically anything an entitled individual involved in the cult religion of game calls any negative response they feel the must "pass" in order to "overcome the obstacle" in their path of getting what they want, their way, or feel they deserve.
Chicks who are genuinely interested in a man don't test him. Instead, they go along with him and make things easy for him. In other words, when a chick likes you and wants to get with you she doesn't try to throw up obstacles, such as "tests".
If a chick thinks you're acting like a weirdo and calls you out on it it's not a "shyt test" it's her telling you to stop being a friggin weirdo.
If a chick isn't interested it's not a "shyt test" she just isn't into you for whatever reason. Just like you don't "shyt test" chicks you have no interest in.
If a chick is moody, a bytch, etc. it's not a "shyt test" she's either in a bad mood, on her period, or just a bytch not giving you "shyt tests" for you to jump through hoops to "pass".
An extension of this is the belief that women shyt test you because they are attracted to you, and they just need to make sure you are the real deal. This is nonsense because women who are attracted don't generally want to fvck up their chances with you by giving you a hard time. However, if you act weird or confrontational then she might respond in kind by giving you what appears to be a shyt test. This illustrates the following faulty logic: A woman is attracted to you. You act weird or confrontational. Result, she tests you. Therefore, women who are attracted shyt test you.
PUAs say that if a woman isn't shyt testing you then she isn't into you. Let's look at this one more closely. Let's say I'm a PUA and a girl is not testing me or giving me a hard time. I then conclude that she isn't interested in me (yet). So what I do is reach into my bag of tricks and start doing ****y-funny, teasing or whatever. As a result she starts giving me a hard time (shyt test), but not because she's becoming attracted, but because I'm acting weird and she's reacting negatively to that. But I just figure she's becoming attracted, so I keep at it. Eventually she just walks away. And from that I conclude that I failed her shyt tests. I then go back to the drawing board feeling that I made some progress because I did manage to attract her after all, and I just need to polish my shyt-test-passing competency skills. But what really happened was that she saw me as a weirdo and I alienated her with my behaviour. The truth is that she might have liked me and that's why she wasn't testing me or giving me a hard time to begin with. But I interpreted that as a lack of attraction and started doing things which I thought would attract her. But it just drove her away.
Consider that "PUAs" often say that the best reaction to a shyt test is to ignore it. In other words, pretend it doesn't exist, and then the situation will right itself. There is in fact an important clue in this statement. If the best reaction to something is to act like it doesn't exist, then maybe the reason for that is because it doesn't exist to begin with. Why test someone who is seemingly unaware they are being tested, and then reward them for their ignorance? Remember, evolution takes the most economical path, and such testing could never exist.
If a woman likes you and wants to get with you, and assuming you act normal, she will never "test" you. That's all there is to it.
But if it happens that a woman is genuinely "testing" a man, then she is screening not for alpha men, but for approval seekers, since only an approval seeker would care about passing tests. But this is hardly normal female behaviour. It is the behaviour of an abnormal woman who is likely just trying to push a man's buttons in order to get the (possibly angry) reaction she is seeking, because that excites her. This type of behaviour tends to screen for abusive men who have little or no control over their emotions.
The other possibility is that some women give men a hard time because they themselves have issues, possibly stemming from their inability to enjoy intimacy. And if you do manage to push through their resistance you will find the sex to be very lacking, and your time together filled with drama and bullshyt. This further proves that shyt testing is not real because there is no real "reward" for passing these "tests". The best sex and company is with women who don't test or give a hard time.
Also keep in mind that the shyt test concept has the potential to boost women's ego. Women who already think highly of themselves will tend to embrace the idea that men have to pass their tests. This fits well with their world view that they are the prize and that they are above criticism for their actions. In their mind, "I'm not being a bytch. I'm just testing to see how much of a man he is". Nobody with a life and solid self esteem has time for that nonsense let alone trying to pass a "test" where the "reward" is jumping through hoops and drama.
