Stop worrying about identifying shit tests, worry about molding your personality to one that reacts to them naturally. If you spend all your time in the field trying to spot shit-tests IOIs and other bullshit you'll just end up getting nervous and screwing up. Focus on enjoying the moment when your in the field.
Seriously? You've never seen or heard a chick say something so completely ridiculous that you paused and thought to yourself... wtf? Like fat chicks saying how sexy they are? Hot chicks fucking the jerk next door then talking about how sweet and nice he is, followed by getting dumped a week later, then crying on their beta orbiters shoulder about how all men are assholes except him, and how he'll find a great girl because of his personality? You've never seen a girl get taken home from a club, fucked silly all night long then tell her friends how "in love" she is the next day? These are all rationalizations to help the women cope with a reality they don't want to wake up to. Happens all the time bro ~

how do I identify a shit-test?

Anything that requires your immediate compliance is a shit test. Anything that requires an honest answer "do I look fat in these jeans?" is a shit test. Any sort of compliment baiting. Any sort of negative criticism of you is a shit test.

if I think she's being a pain in the ass, how do I distinguish between it being legit or if it's just a S-T?

If she's a pain in the ass, just ignore her and pretend it's a child throwing a tantrum. Agree and amplify. Just treat her as you would your little sister.

I'm not sure I understand the concept of the 'rationalisation hamster'

Women's hindbrain and forebrain are more interconnected than men's. Therefore their decision making is very related to their emotions instead of logic and reason. Whenever they make a decision that's not logical, but they KNOW it's not logical, their brain has to come up with an explanation. This is what the rationalization hamster does, it rationalizes shitty behavior and bad decision making.

When in doubt, agree and amplify.

In a relationship, a shit test is identified by asking yourself this question: If this were a second date, would there be a third?

The "rationalisation hamster" is the system that designs logical-sounding reasons for sub-optimal or immoral courses of action. Both men and women have them (all humans tell rational post-hoc stories about how they come to the decisions they do - it's been shown that these decisions are often made before the neo-cortex is even recruited)

You'll want to start reading the MMSL blog for tips on "relationship game."
