The Stairs Test

A term used when writing Harry Potter fanfiction (mostly on Ao3) where a character finds out they're trans by going up the "wrong" stairs in the dorms of Hogwarts. The stairs only allow one gender to come up them (Male or female), and when a canonically Male character (primarily Harry) is able to go up the stairs in a fanfic, it serves to move the plot forward.

1) The test was easy for you, you finished it in 20 Minutes and you're proud of your work.

2) You got a bad grade on your test so you litteraly put it in your mouth and swallow it to make the evidence disappear.

The Subway Test

The Subway Test is a test you can conduct on any person you find attractive.
Simply imagine that person working at your local Subway (feel free to substitute Subway with you preferred convenience store) and if that person is still 'hot' then you know any attraction is not likely to be clouded by other factors.

marshmallow test

The marshmallow test, tests a children’s willingness to delay gratification. Sort of a self administered positive feedback for delaying gratification. Children get a marshmallow, with the opportunity to get a second marshmallow if they wait 15 minutes before eating the first one.
During the Covid-19 Pandemic the marshmallow test is misaligned for most who don't think they can get it. If they delay gratification by social distance and wear a mask and wash hands and delaying certain activities where these things are not possible they don't get a extra marshmallow but they may get a few extra years of life and have a relative and friend a little longer.
