Here's a summary (including a few solid quotes from fellow redpillers).
Did I miss anything major? This list could probably be endless...
1) Get Attention/Approval - boost ego, verify SMV.
Some women are consummate teases and will shit test just for the attention and validation. Once you display interest, the teaser brushes you off. Having "won" the value contest, she labels you a LOSER.
2) Get Emotional Spark - she provokes you to stimulate her own emotions.
She might shit test to get a specific emotional outcome. She's anxious and wants to feel calm. Or she's bored and wants to feel excitement.
She wants to feel happy and calm, but any steady state soon becomes boring for her attention-seeking, hyper-stimulated mind. She'll take angry/agitated over bored, so she constantly stirs up drama to feel more energy.
3) Express Anxiety - fears, flashback moments from a troubled past, or apprehension about the future trigger an anxious response.
While a man is shamed for expressing the slightest vulnerability, a princess is often rewarded for her attention-grabbing public freakout.
4) Force Attraction - spark your interest. If you've just met, her testing indicates she's interested in you.
5) Exert Her Power - since she carries the V card, her POV is "My pussy, my rules," and weaker guys will collapse into her frame. She'll attempt to take control and bend you to her will. Establish a position of relational dominance.
6) Exploit Your Ego - disarm you with praise.
A woman looks for vulnerabilities and she'll exploit your ego by softening you up with compliments. Some guys are starved for praise, and soon find themselves eating out of her hand.
Praise can be very manipulative. What's her intent here? Is she hitting on you or sarcastically pretending to do so? Is she buttering you up to disarm you or gain your favor? Is she using a sandwich technique to position criticism between two compliments?
Frame attacks can come disguised as gifts. Be wary and maintain frame. But also realize that sometimes a compliment is just a kind word. It can be just one of those social niceties a woman likes to offer as a social lubricant.
Respond playfully or just take it gracefully and move on. Gracefully means appreciating her gift with a simple "Thanks," and not diminishing it or immediately reciprocating to make things balanced.
7) Reveal Instability, Weakness, Low Value - suck you into a losing position so she can disqualify you.
8) Reassurance - feel secure by confirming your interest in her. She can feel insecure in a LTR and will continually test to see if you still care about her.
For the insecure lover, the upset she provokes in you indicates you "care." Lack of upset indicates you are in control of yourself and the relationship.
Red Pill viewpoint: "Women do not rigorously shit test their men out of malice, but merely out of insecurity, out of a need to feel protected, out of a nagging sense of insecurity that they “just need to make sure” they have made the right choice and are still in a relationship with a man who is badass."
9) Measure Your Stones - gauge/feel your confidence and masculinity. Discover if you're an Alpha challenge or a Beta pushover.
Red Pill viewpoint: "Being able to respond to a shit test shows a level of confidence, self respect, and mental toughness. Girls like that."
10) Measure Your Status - determine if you're superior or inferior to her in social status.
11) Categorize You - decide if you're sex-worthy or not. She may use a Compliance Test to pressure you into supplicating and depending on your response, label you as either LOVER, LOSER, PROVIDER or FRIEND.
12) Damseling - create drama to evoke rescue response.
13) Coquette Game - orchestrate a compelling challenge to provoke chasing.
14) Recruit Beta-Orbiter - put another man at her beck and call.
15) Anti-Flirt - indicate interest by provoking/teasing you.
16) Anti-Slut Defense - pretend she isn't easy.
17) Feel Safe/Secure - get a dose of your manly power.
18) Gauge Your Neediness - reveal pussy addiction.
19) Creep Protection - more of a bitch shield directed towards lower-value chumps.
20) Score Social Points - boost up her social status by putting you down.
21) Re-Confirm Your Value - prove you're still a worthy mate.
22) Nag - push you into a productive direction.
23) Dread - incite jealousy and competition anxiety.
Women will sometimes use the tactics that would work well on themselves... When she's telling a story of some guy that hit on her, she's validating her SMV and letting you know you're replaceable if you mess around.
This is a power move on her part. Will you let her V-card trump your C-card? You can hold frame and diffuse it, or you can ante up to her little game of dread poker. Give back a story that awakens her jealousy monster.
24) Test Boundaries - rebellious pushing of limits or seeking the security of your containment.
Red Pill viewpoint: "Anybody with experience with women and shit tests can tell you- they're not pushing the boundaries because they will be happier with more freedom and control. They're pushing the boundaries because they want somebody or something to push back. They want structure. They want rules. And by god, the West failed this major shit test by giving feminism a blank check."
25) Hedonistic Escape - lure you into her world of leisure and pleasure, where you soon lose your masculine edge.
Red Pill viewpoint: "She does these sabotage-style shit tests, like "Skip the gym baby. I'm so wet why don't you just come play with me?" Or she will try to get me to fuck up my food plan and then comfort me about how its OK and she thinks I look good enough that I shouldn't gain more muscle.
"I was perturbed as fuck by this, "Bitch, you're supposed to be helping. I encourage you whenever you need it. Why are you making it more difficult for me to be the BOSS I know I can be?""
26) Emotional Tampon - lure you into the intimacy of girl-friend mode where you become her BFF and open up to reveal your vulnerability.
Red Pill viewpoint: "She will ask for more 'tenderness' and for you to talk about your 'feelings.' This is a shit test. If you give in and talk to her about feelings the tingles will dry up like the Sahara. If you ignore her and refuse to engage, making fun of her emoting until she gets pissed she will wake you up the next morning with a BJ.
"Women tell you they want a man who will "open up" to them- but they will then lose sexual attraction for any man foolish enough to engage the mighty hamster. Women do not want to hear about your problems, ever."
Luring tests are especially tempting because the bait is pleasurable. A woman will lure a man into a "honey trap" by pouring on the charm and dangling the promise of pussy and validation. If he can't keep his frame solid, he loses.
A woman will soften you if you don't resist her temptations. She will attempt to turn you into a female, because she thinks that is the superior way and being her BFF will bring you closer. The more similar to her and more subservient you become, the less attractive you are perceived to be.
A guy does the same thing - attempting to turn a woman into a Half-Dude - a rational, success-driven version of himself. They become buddies, but the sex fizzles out.
Weak guys hate shit tests because it reveals them as such.
Strong guys aren't fazed by tests. They'll even invite them because once they blow through it then turn it around and Bitch Test the girl to make her qualify/comply.
Most women melt under the pressure of being tested, while feeling strong attraction for the man who can dominate them by flipping the script and challenging her.
