I thought we were supposed to defeat the flood to prove ourselves worthy of the mantle, which makes sense because the flood stopped attacking us when the forerunners interfered with the "test". although primordium was sort of vague on the whole precursor flood relationship because of all the contradictory statements and didn't go as far into the details as most people would have liked.
No. The Flood was deemed the perfect form of life by the Precursors and the final stage of evolution where all life is united, humanity passed the test but the Forerunners didn't.
Page 364 says: "...the Flood will return when they [humanity] are ripe, and bring them unity"

You can find it in halo primordium book two of the forerunner saga but be warned the book can get real boring at certain parts and like I said has a lot of contradictory information.
Given your clear misunderstanding of the book, I don't think you're in much of a position to be criticising it.
Also, the Forerunner novels are the ONLY novels in the Halo series that are pretty much 100% accurate. There are absolutely no canonical discrepancies, so you're talking bollocks.

It is implied that the Precursors are a collection of races from the Timeless One's dialogue, yes.
I didn't know that... o.O
Where can I find this information?
Towards the end of the book, I think it's page 365, the TO says he is the "last of this kind".
Who knows ? Maybe the forerunners passed the test.
They risked everything they had to safe others, isnt that a thing only a mighty civilization would do ?
We cant surely know since they activitated the halo's.
PS: The forerunners did pass the test, if not they wouldnt be alive.The flood would hunt them down.
