For instance, if you failed at the test to prove that you're not a nerd, that would imply that you did so to "fit in". You have failed because failing a test is in violation of why you gave it in the first place.
Really though?  Wouldn't the reason you gave it in, in the first place, was to prove that you failed?

Hardly. If your main intent was to fail, you would not give the exam at all.
Then you would not have succeeded in failing an exam.  You would've just not taken it.
