Alice asks a question. Bob looks at her incredulously and gives an answer. His tone conveys, quite clearly, that she should know this already. Alice is embarrassed, and in a feeble attempt to cover her ignorance, informs Bob that she was "Just Testing Him." Stock phrase, usually accompanied by excessive blushing and a sheepish grin. If Alice really was just testing Bob, see Secret Test. Compare "Just Joking" Justification. |

Seen in an E-Man parody of Marvel Comics — Pointy-Haired Boss Stanley Presents is hideously out of touch with the current continuity his company prints and keeps making references to things that haven't been true for over a decade. When called on it, "I know that, I was just testing you." | |

In The Feeble Files, Feeble jokingly tells the local bar's bartender a made-up rumor that OmniBrain is merely a falsehood devised by the rebels. Given the very 1984-esque nature of the setting, the bartender responds that he will have to report Feeble saying that to the authorities. Feeble then responds that he was merely testing him and that he would have to report HIM if he said anything else. | |

Red Dwarf: During "Quarantine", Rimmer claims he was just testing the others to see if they'd gone crazy after a few days locked up with one another. He's sitting there in a red and white gingham dress and army boots, and has quite obviously gone insane himself. | |

Star Trek Kirk and Scotty set up a challenge/response password before Kirk beamed down to a planet in order to prevent imposters from getting beamed up. Naturally, a shapeshifter takes Kirk's form and tries to get Scotty to beam him up. When he doesn't know the password, he tries to cover it up by saying that he was just testing Scotty. Scotty catches on immediately and concludes that Kirk must be in trouble since the real Kirk would never "test" him in a situation like that. In "The Changeling", Enterprise is attacked by a powerful robot probe that only stops shooting when it mistakes Captain Kirk for "The Creator" (due to Corrupted Data it confuses Kirk with the similarly-named individual who designed it). When Kirk asks why Nomad refers to him as 'The Creator', Spock quickly interrupts, telling Nomad that "The Creator was just testing your memory banks." |

Young Sheldon: In "A Rival Prodigy and Sir Isaac Neutron", Sheldon has invented a variant of chess with a new piece, a wizard. "The wizard cannot be taken, and, at any point, he can teleport and switch places with any other piece," Sheldon explains. Paige points out "an obvious flaw" with the wizard: "any time anyone is checkmated, they can simply have the wizard and their king switch places. So the game will never end." Sheldon is annoyed, but hides this saying "I knew that. You passed my test." | |

Doctor Who: In "Rise of the Cybermen", the TARDIS lands in a parallel universe, and Mickey learns that his grandmother is still alive there. He goes to visit her but is almost immediately grabbed by "his" friends, who tell "Ricky" that he's the one who told them not to put their loved ones in danger. Mickey, understandably confused, uses this line. | |

She admits to testing you to see if you were honest and able to treat the Force Bond seriously. What she's really testing is if the brainwashing the Jedi Council did was still sticking. | |
