I followed Bill's link (below) and did the Zener card trial, fully expecting, as I began, to prove conclusively that they ain't no psychic stuff happening up here today.

However, as I started to click my way through, I felt my crown chakra area start to tingle---to wake up and tingle. Not because I was making any effort. It just did. So I moved through the trial, in a pretty rushed kind of way, because I was trying not feel performance anxiety (impossible, I think, no matter how fast you go).

So this was my result today:

"Well, Sabri, you got 10 / 25 correct (40%)
By chance we would expect 5 / 25 correct guesses (20%)
For 25 trials, a score of 9 or above would be statistically significant"

I'm surprised.

Too bad there are no Blue Star bonus points for being psychic!

Each time I took the "test" the results were statistically significant. However, in every case it said that I am not psychic, rather psycho.

Oh well!

laughing....there is no 'psycho' response, silly! : )

I tried to take it with a room full of people chattering and packing boxes. I'm going to have to try again later without all of the noise.

I scored 2/25. I think that is statistically insignificant. Or perhaps it is so bad that it is significant. ;)

1. Quick zip through, no thinking: 32%
2. Careful closing of eyes and clearing of thoughts before each choice: 20%
3. Quick zip through, no thinking: 28%

Apparently, thinking about it makes me psychically denser.

I ran into the same exact result when I took it last night.

Zener cards are cool!

Hi Sabrina! Many years ago, at a psychology fair put on students at my high school, I did a zener card experiment - I got 19 out of 20 correct! I missed the second card! My friends kept asking me to do it again but I didn't want to. Either I would not do as well, proving to them that it was a fluke and something to dismiss, or I would do as well or almost as well and seriously freak myself out!

I'm not sure how much it would work for me coming from the computer, I think that my skills are rooted in empathy, but I'm going to check out that link!
