In the fourth season, Lily confesses that she has been breaking Ted up with girls who she didn't see passing the "Front Porch Test." The Front Porch Test is Lily's indication of how happy they would all be together once they were old, thus showing if someone's love interest was right for them or not. The life lesson that is learned from this is that the most important people in your life you can imagine sitting happily on a front porch with when you're old and gray. If can also be applied to help you make everyday decisions.
the front porch test: before making a big decision in your life, imagine that you are 80-years-old and sitting on your front porch being nostalgic about your life that has gone by. Would you be happy if you chose to be an accountant? Or would you be happier knowing you pursued your writing career?

Get the The FitnessGram Pacer Testmug. The most complex, confusing, and most important high school test ever made. The company that makes it, CollegeBoard, makes it very tricky, and it is ABSOLUTELY the most important test in high school. Despite it's name, most of it is NOT reasoning, most of the test requires prior knowledge and skills.
WTH? CollegeBoard is giving me a test that doesn't even test beyond anything I learn in college. This test is rigged. The only people who get high scores on the test study for it, defeating it's purpose. So Why am I waking up early on a Saturday to take this again? The SAT reasoning test should be banned.

Get the SAT Reasoning Testmug. The act of fooling around and not doing your job. More specifically, the act of writing, or spraying, the numbers 40 on a wall in an undeniable reference to a 40 rock of cocaine. It's mostly used as an excuse for not doing your work.
Person 1 "Are you slacking off again?"
Person 2 "Nah man, I'm testing spray patterns!"
OR
Person 1 "Why are you writing 40 everywhere?"
Person 2 "I was just testing spray patterns."
Person 2 "Nah man, I'm testing spray patterns!"
OR
Person 1 "Why are you writing 40 everywhere?"
Person 2 "I was just testing spray patterns."

Get the Dollar Bill Testmug. With so many unique, often opposing, religious Directives, Dictates and Dogma--is faith really the strong foundation and reliable measure of truth on which to base belief?
So, what's the best definition of faith?
How about: pretending to know something that you don't know.
Take the Outsider-Test of Faith and see if your personal savior, shake, shayman, god or other mythologic figure survives the challenge...
