I refuse to believe I can't be myself, so what, then?
You pass shit tests by being genuine. If how you act before shit test = how you act after then you pass.
For instance, if you say "I love hard metal music!" and she responds "I can't stand hard metal music, its too loud!" (shit test) A good response would be "You're crazy, the great thing about hard metal music is that its loud!" That is how you pass the test. A failed response would be "I like other types of music too."
The first response owns who you are. The second response attempts to gain rapport and gets her to like you. The funny thing is that she will like you more if you own who you are. Every other guy tries to get her to like them.
In your example you would have passed the test because you owned who you are. If that was a girl, she probably would have been attracted if you talked to her like that.
