Leveling IRL - followup

I've noticed that if I decide for myself that something is supposed to be a test then it provides some positive motivation, but if I intuit that someone is trying to manipulate that part of me by suggesting a test then there are parts of me that react violently (so to speak) and my motivation drops to zero and I basically stop caring about the test subject entirely, I suppose as a strong signal that I am not so easily manipulated. I suspect this isn't uncommon. Just something to watch out for.

Wrt strength and endurance, what do you think about fitocracy?

I only know about from xkcd, but this seems already set up to have physical goals for leveling up explicit in the design.

In the previous post it was suggested that to be Level 1 you should be able to do any of the Level 1 tests at any time. Perhaps have a quarterly testing schedule, with the date chosen at random? Post a table for each of the attributes showing Levels and actions, and have something like you can consider yourself a level X if you do at least Y actions at that level.

This would encourage building habits rather than ramping up for a week or two and testing yourself, like one-and-done leveling does, as you would have to be ready for a test at any time. If it works how I hope it would, you feel like you're steadily grinding your way up over the months/year.

One thing I'd like to strongly suggest is avoiding any task that requires special equipment a significant portion of the less wrong readership may not have easy access to. Unless you're in college or already belong to a gym, it would cost around 150$ (gym activation fee and a month or two of membership) to do the level 1 tasks.
