I took a test online the other night to determine whether I’m psychic (psychic test). Of course I know I’m psychic, but I thought it would be amusing to take the test anyway.
According to the test results I am “most likely precognitive,” which I find funny because I’m usually not very good at precognition. I can honestly say that I’ve never had a precognitive vision or dream. I am, however, usually aware of general energies coming up in the future (positive, negative, standing still, lots of changes, etc.) and can often tell which area of life in which these energies are likely to be felt (extended family, immediate family, child, romantic relationship, work, personal, etc.). Although, I did once predict a pregnancy for a woman who was on the pill and certain that there was no way she could be pregnant. She and her husband had a beautiful, spirited, baby girl.
Despite my amusement at this online test’s assessment of my ability. I do think that such tests can be useful. In this one, as in others, there are multiple questions that target each of several different psychic strengths both by asking for a psychic response and by asking for information about your life experience. If you don’t already know, this kind of test may help you understand your own particular psychic strengths and weaknesses. If you are particularly interested in connecting with people and events on the internet then this sort of online test may also help you to hook in to the particular vibration of the world wide web.
However, it is this last point about how to connect to and through the internet that makes me feel that online tests may have a fundamental flaw, or are at least doing something different than they think they’re doing. So many of our traditional tests for psychic ability are based on being in the same room with, or actually holding on to triggering elements. Predicting which card will come up next in a deck is a good example. With cards, either the subject is holding the deck and turning over cards one at a time while “guessing” what will come next, or a tester is holding the deck and turning the cards. In both cases there is a “real world” connection between the psychic and the cards. On the internet, a computer randomly selects virtual cards to appear on the subject’s computer screen through the intervening medium of the internet. There is no “real” card to read nor is there a real person’s mind to connect with.
I believe that it is entirely possible to predict random cards in this way, but the energy one has to connect with to do so is very different than it is when sitting in a room with a set of paper cards. In other words, I think that online tests are actually testing something very different than simple random card prediction. They are testing the subject’s ability to “interface” psychically with the thought form that is the world wide web and all that encompasses. I’m quite sure that some people are very very good at this. But, I haven’t had enough practice yet. How about you?
I also have taken those tests. I find them to be frustrating rather then validating. IF I concentrate on only the cards and tune out the noise around me, then I actually score very well on them. I think it is a bit trivial though like learning twinkle twinkle on the piano when you can play harder sings by ear. If you show some skill, why not practice on that which is real? Of course then again, you have to be “out” with those people and so the reason I’m on the computer trying to develope my skills…….Hello, maybe not the best way.
I thought you might find this interesting. The PEAR Project, ran by the dean of engineering at Princeton University has been doing reseach on psychic awareness (they call it reomote percetpion) for over 20 years. Here is a quote from thier site:
“these analyses demonstrate that this capacity of human consciousness is also largely independent of the distance between the percipient and the target, and similarly independent of the time between the specification of the target and the perception effort.”
Their research seems to imply that psychic accuracy is not determined by time or space, so maybe we aren’t accurate in remote situations sometimes simply because we don’t think we should be. I also found a unique psychic test that you may find interesting – the test uses real people as targets. I did pretty good. Try it out and let me know what you think:
