So I was thinking..

When the flood emerged and attacked Humanity, Humanity proved themselves worthy (in the eyes of the Precursors) to uphold the mantle. Because of this, Humans weren't targeted anymore when the Forunner-Flood War raged, and weren't infected. Humanity would be tested once again in the future.

So when Humanity encountered the Flood again on Installation 04. At this moment, Humans were infected again.

So, why, at this point, with Humanity at this stage, where they targeted again? Where they, again, tested?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Flood were feral in CE, they lacked a compound mind to give them direction.

Also, the Timeless One says at the end of Primordium that "in one thousand human centuries" humanity will be tested again.

A tosser is the same as a wanker. To toss oneself off is to fondle the trouser weasel.

Tested for what?

Sorry my lore doesn't reach further than games and pedia.

Think of it as an exam. You take one near the middle of the school year so the teachers can see how how you've come and then come the second half of the year and you learn new things, you have to take exams again near the end of the school year to make sure you haven't forgotten what happened in the first half.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Humans weren't targeted by the Flood during the Forerunner-Flood War because Humanity had almost been exterminated by the Forerunners. There is no certainty that they wouldn't have been infected.

As someone above said, the Primordial said Humanity would be tested once more to see if they are worthy to uphold the mantle. Apart from that, the Flood in Halo CE were in Feral Stage. The Proto Gravemind was killed aboard Truth and Reconciliation.
