Testing Psychic Ability: A 5-Step Formula For Testing Your ESP

By Tana Hoy

Each human being is born with an natural psychic ability. The main anchor for almost any psychic power is ESP, or extrasensory perception. Let us take look at a card approach of which you can use to check one's ESP degree or psychic ability.

Joseph Banks Rhine, one of the pioneers of modern parapsychology, was the first individual who carried out ESP experiments using cards. His technique needed having cards -- either a regular deck of cards, a or a special set known as Zener cards, which were developed by Karl Zener, a perceptual psychologist.

Here is the 5-step formula for testing your ESP using cards

1. Prepare the testing location (make sure that to rule out virtually any distractions such as noise), and have the following components ready:

- A set of cards (Parapsychologists often use Zener cards for ESP testing. These cards are well crafted to test any degree of ESP, the main frame of any psychic ability, and they have five designs: a square, a plus sign, a circle, three wavy lines and a five pointed star printed in black. Each symbol has five cards. But in the event that you do not have Zener cards, the use of a regular deck of cards can be a substitute to test the degree of the ESP psychic ability. Twenty cards can be used, five from each suit. They can be replaced by twenty objects, four groups of five identical items)

- A pen or a pencil

- Pieces of paper

- A table and also screen behind which the objects will be shuffled or positioned to keep away from the subject because of seeing them

2. The tester of the psychic ability and the subject must sit across each other, with the table and screen setup in between.

3. To start the test for signs of psychic ability, the tester will shuffle the cards and lay them facing down on the table.

4. The tester will draw one card coming from the deck as well as put the card facing down on the table; the subject will then make a guess using his innate intuitive psychic ability, and put this on his sheet of paper. This step is repeated until the whole deck (20 cards) have all been drawn.

5. After which, the tester will reveal the answers to the tester, and the tester will correct his corresponding guesses,and the results will be scored to see the degree of one's ESP psychic ability. Also, take note that each test is referred to as a a trial, a run is twenty trials. The ideal test is to have five or more runs because best accuracy rises with the number of runs, and all testing doesn't have to be done during one sitting. After the psychic ability test has been administered, the scores are interpreted as follows:

Psychic Ability of ESP Scoring Using a Regular Deck of Cards:

5 Runs, Chance score - 25, Good - 34, Excellent - 36

10 Runs, Chance score - 50, Good - 62 Excellent - 66

15 Runs, Chance score - 75, Good - 90 Excellent - 96

Psychic Ability of ESP Scoring Using Zener Cards:

4 Runs, Chance score - 20, Good - 28-31, Excellent - 32+

10 Runs, Chance score - 50, Good - 63-68, Excellent - 80+

50 Runs, Chance score - 250, Good - 279-292, Excellent - 293+

100 Runs, Chance score - 500, Good - 540 - 559, Excellent - 560+

Cards are just one of the most methods practiced by parapsychologists to check one's level for virtually any psychic ability. Do you think you display signs of virtually any psychic ability? Try a psychic analysis for yourself, as well as understand how psychic you are!
