So how do you tell if you have psychic abilities or not? One way is with a psychic abilities quiz. There are two types of quiz. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
The classic esp test uses a bicycle-brand esp card-deck that has five symbols – circle, square, triangle , plus sign and wave. The examiner holds up one card at a time and you have to guess each in turn. This test has been around for decades and was even featured in the first Ghostbusters movie (where Bill Murray tests an unwitting subject).
With advances in computer and internet software this type of test is now available on the internet in several places. There is a real problem with this test, especially the internet-based ones. This type of psychic abilities quiz only really tests for clairvoyance – whether you can “see” the future. But there are many types of psychic ability – the power to move objects (telekinesis), the ability to receive psychic messages by hearing (clairaudience), the ability to strongly connect to others and receive subtle information through feeling or touch (clairsentience or psychometry) and several others.
The other type of test is what scientists would call a qualitative one – in simple terms using a questionnaire to capture the “quality” of someone’s experience (the opposite type – quantitative – measures amounts using statistics). Using a questionnaire-format recognises that it can be difficult to measure psychic ability in a black and white way. The world of the occult is more greyscale, with blurred edges and margins, and gradual transitions between different levels of ability.
This type has several advantages compared to the classic card-based esp test. Firstly, it can identify a much wider range of psychic ability (depending on the question design) including the “big three” discussed above, but also telekinesis, spiritual guidance, and lucid dreaming. Secondly, it allows for (and even relies on) the fuzziness that exists in the psychic world – the blurring of borders between the presence or absence of psychic abilities. And thirdly, it allows you to measure your progress over time – by taking the same test at various intervals during the development of your psychic skills, you are able to gauge your improvement.
Summary Points *Two types of psychic test. *One is card-based but mainly identifies clairvoyant ability. *The other is questionnaire-based and is able to identify a wide range of psychic ability types and grades.
