Scorpio's TRUST tests !

This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by saweetz1988 on Saturday, July 13, 2013 and has 25 replies.
So after a month of browsing through Scorpio's forum ! I am truly fascinated by your complex nature.
What were some of TESTS you are guilty of during your trust cycle.
Did they pass your tests? do you keep score? do you put a cross mark next to their names when they fail
or do you give them another chance? and lastly, how do you let them know they have passed all
your tests and what were some of their rewards?

Imagine a test where:
- The outcome is the opposite of what you truly desire...
- Half of the insturctions are missing...
- You are blindfolded
- Multiply by 1,000, subtract 3...
- Add one egg and place in a dark cupboard and allow to rise...

Does it feel like a test?
Half this is unconscious. Don't over think. The only way to pass a test is to be real. Do not try to pass a test--that's the best way to fail it. smile

I do hear scorpions mention a lot of times that those tests are often unconscious. There is no particular test at the moment. I can only be true and honest. I'm just curious to hear real examples as they give me better insights into scorpions.
I agree what most tests aren't intentional or preplanned, and are more given as situations that can be challenging present themselves.
Ex: I get mad and throw a huge shit fit, maybe even act a little crazy. After the fact, I think... "Well damn...I totally just lost it and he saw a side of me that's questionable and probably unattractive." If he sticks around then I know he's forreal and can handle the tough conflicts, and I can drop my guard down a little bit.
Ex: There's another girl floating around my guy and it's obvious she likes him. Instead of acting out on it or even saying anything...I just sit back and watch, hoping nothing will come of it and he won't fall into her shit. I think, "Well...if he prefers her then it wasn't meant to be and there's nothing I can do about it. Time to move on. There's someone else out there for me." If he doesn't pay her no mind and she has no effect on him. I know I can drop another layer of my walls.
These are just a few examples of "tests" I put people through. It's really just about loyalty and having someone who is there through the good/bad. That's what us Scorps long for - forever partner who has the strength to overcome all the rough patches and still wanna stick by our side. Not just someone who is only around for the good.

Personally I prefer not to actually construct tests for someone, through time and actions we will eventually find out whether they are trust worthy or not. I never put people through anything that I myself would prefer not to go through.
I usually get a fairly accurate read on someone upon our first couple meetings- whether they are honest, or deceitful, say what they feel, or keep some things concealed. Whether they are faithful or flighty- it's all easy to tell when you know how to search someone.
This is coming from someone with deep rooted trust issues, stemming from being cheated on about five times in the past, and a few other reasons I shouldn't mention. It's difficult for me to deeply trust anything with a penis, but everyone is not the same. People deserve the chance to prove themselves honest and true, if I had given into my trust issues I would never have been blessed with the two year relationship I hold dear today.
It's all about perspective- and listening to our instincts.
I don't think of them as tests either... But i guess they are in a way?
Rather I'm looking to see what your reactions are and where your boundaries are.
As a lot of posts mention Scorps are quick to mirror behaviour of people they are close to. Again, I think this is largely subconscious. But when they sense someone pulling away, they sit back and watch. I guess when you have quite a healthy sense of pride and/ or trust issues it is almost impossible to be proactive. So, in my case I'll sit back and see what he does if I vanish or flirt with other guys, or become confrontational?
TBH it usually backfires- scorpio self fulfilling destructive tendencies.
I'm not sure how you beat the test.
I love a person with intelligence and strength of character. Someone loyal- who can put up with my strange ways with kindness and understanding. And not get frustrated!
But I think humour is the key- we can all take ourselves too seriously at times (but even then, it has to be the right sense of humour- mock a scorp at your own peril)!! smile

Butter us up first with a compliment to get us to show you our private bits. Cleaver, but I'm not biting.
There isn't much to it. If you're genuine and honest, you will "pass" every time. It's not so much a "test" as it is a waiting game until you show us who you really are underneath. Everyone shows a different face when they first meet you. We want to know who is you are when you take away the ego and whatever else it is you think we want to see. We don't want anything other than who you really are.

I actually wrote a thread about this under my former account,and after having put it to experimentation,question,and observation,they proved to be consistent.
Here's how it goes:
Initial size-up
Subtle Interaction.
Social interaction gauging.
Emotional makeup size-up.
Personal strength assessment.
Action-Reaction assessment.
Goal/life direction assessment.
Priority/commitment analyzing.
Consistency and general coexistence observation
this is a cold analysis.A Scorpio will protect that which is important to them (their heart,their soul,their loved ones,their identity).
Those who wish to court must be sure of themselves,their lives,their priorities,and their bonds.They must be strong to handle pressure,because even they understand how powerful they are and that it can get heavy,but those who stick around and stay true blue have earned the honor of their love.

I won't repost the thread.A Scorpio's heart must be earned by those who truly deserve it and will match their intensity.No way am I contributing to false suitors hoping to manipulate them (don't want to be responsible for the bloodshed lol)

i think i can score 95% on that one...except when you scorpios pretend you don't really care..but deep down you do... ...e.g. me " dancing was great ! it was a very cozy house/dance floor" him " ! OHH so did you get laid? " ...me..rolled my eyes.. " YES !!!" him..."silence....and looked deep into my eyes... ! ..him " really.....?"....me " Ya sure i totally did !!! ..annoyed face " and that was the end of our discussion >< I also feel that he's very insecure and he purposely say the opposite of what he means just to get a rest assurance. sometimes i can be sweet and response in a calm manner, why should I ? ? sometimes it annoys the crap out of me ! !

If you treat the scorpio as the one and the only, you prob are not gonna fail :p


That is true...
" I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts "

Great explanation ! you can not sum ^^^ this up any better. I also love intensely but i am a taurus at the end of the day...and i have always doubt my intensity compared to the scorpions...I feel once we pass your trust cycle, scorpions will stick around through stick and thin and NEVER will you let go. My scorpio didn't let go of me after 3 years ...waited around for another chance...my other scorpio friend is going through a very tough time with her cancer husband..who's driving her mental inside and out...numerous separations... but yet the other day i spoke to her...she said this" i realised that i have enough, this is a mess and i shouldn't have to be in so much pain for him etc etc " ...me " oh !!! a Scorpio is letting go at last... her " OH NO !! i am not letting go ever, HE IS MY husband "....I can not wait to be on that ladder ..I feel that my love/loyalty/patience/honesty /commitment/understanding
will allow me to earn such reward.

^^^ seen it myself many times.
who can put up with my strange ways with kindness and understanding. And not get frustrated!
^^^ nailed this one also

But I think humour is the key- we can all take ourselves too seriously at times (but even then, it has to be the right sense of humour-
^^^ laughing is the best medicine! I love scorpion's sarcastic comments / humour though..they r hilarious..

I guess my question is how do you gauge the tests in regards to whether it is a friend test or a suitor test?
I have to agree with some of the comments, most of the time the so called test are unconscious or some thing that just happens. However I most confess that I do sometimes throw my wild little tests here and there once every-so-often. I only have 3 people I'm my life that I consider true friends. I have known them since middle school, actually 5th grade. I at this point am past the testing friends thing cuz I've know them fir so long and know the so well. I do at times like, like the other post have said do something crazy, or some odd life situation will come up in which I just sit back and watch their reactions. At the beginning if the friendship I did however push boundaries and actually test them quit often. If the genuinely try, (try = being honest with me, even if its something I don't like or did not expect of them. Also they do the test without trying to just please me. Only if they are as honest as possible will the pass this so called test) but other than the randomness of life and some light probing when they come and tell me their secrets ( for some reason I'm the groups vault of secrets, i wonder why lol ) but other than thatI don't "test" them. However i do it to new people I'm interested in, it's sort of an evaluation of sorts. If they pass my criteria ill consider being friends with them or more, however it's not a common thing for people to pass my test or meet my expectation. Ant it's not cuz their high, they just tend to be odd. Sometime it will just be something like a gut feeling and that will be the end of a interactions. Well point is, we don't often premeditatedly administer the tests, most times it just happens, and we only do it on purpose when we want the relationship to evolve or something like that.

Personally, I don't test my friends or potential friends. I'm friendly and nice to everyone I meet (except when I'm moody, then I can be somewhat withdrawn and quiet). But with friends...either we build a friendship over time or I'll come to realize you're not bff material and just keep you in acquaintance zone or a casual friend I don't tell my business to.
"Tests" for me are only when I'm interested romantically, but like I said...I don't go outta my way to test even these people. Situations will arise where I'm able to see things and how they react.

Scorpio tests are broken into 3 phases
The first phase is the bullshit filter.
The second phase is the intent revealer.
The third phase is the test of endurance and persistence.

I feel I have passed the two and being tested for my consistentcy.. (third phrase) ^^^^

the "tests" aren't administered on a schedule or even on a conscious basis.
Scorpios just have a natural way of filtering people in their lives,especially if they are friends and even more so if they're lovers.
Keep in mind,they will not tolerate weakness of character.Meaning,you're already flagged if you show you're negatively reckless in your own life.There's no way in hell a scorpio is gonna let you destroy their life too.

Very true. I had to cut loose an Aries female because she was waaaaaay wreckless with her life. I struggled with it because I didn't wanna judge her based on her decisions, but I had to cut ties when she lied and said I had sex with a guy she was dealing with to cover up her dirt with another guy.
I do not implore to much into Scorpios. I just am super nice to them and love to pick on them because they are really friendly fun people. I pick on them in a fun loving way. Very goofy. They just laugh.
