subject: A Psychic Test - Are You Psychic? [print this page] Are you someone who has more than once heard a loved one's call in distress from a thousands miles away? Or is it that you sometimes have a very strong gut feeling just before doing something or going somewhere which later turns out to be right? Or are you someone who has never experienced anything as such and just want to know whether you possess any sixth sense at all? Whatever might the reason be, you can use psychic test to assess your psychic powers.
The term psychic power denotes the special ability to perceive things which are otherwise hidden from, and are not perceptible through the five senses of hearing, sight, taste, smell and touch. Psychic testing on the other hand refers to using methods or techniques in order to test one's psychic powers. The function of psychic tests can be twofold - testing existence or testing intensity. Firstly, if a person is experiencing strange psychic premonitions his/her life and wants to find out whether he/she posses any psychic powers, testing is a good way to have the answer. Moreover, testing can also be done for assessing the strength or level of psychic power by people who already have knowledge about their own abilities.
While some basic tests can be used to test the presence of a psychic power, advanced psychic tests are also available to analyze the intensity of that power in an individual.
Tests undertaken by researching institution or medical research facilities are more advanced and thus more accurate. But one's psychic powers may diminish by the mere fact of being in an unknown and strange environment of the clinic.
The three most common physic powers are that of precognition, or the ability to predict future events; clairvoyance, or the ability to see and know about things happening thousands of miles away and lastly telepathy, which involves the ability to tune-in to the thoughts of others and know about them.
One of the oldest and the most common psychic test is that of the Zener Cards. These cards have a specific symbol on them like a square, circle, etc. The deck is shuffled and a card is removed from the deck after which the potential psychic is asked to predict the symbol of that particular card. This goes on till the deck gets depleted and thereafter the scores are added up.
Based on the algorithms created by Dr. Rhine and Carl Zener, this age old psychic test gives you scores that one can accurately interpret to assess whether he/she has no ability, some ability, significant ability or very high psychic abilities. Apart from this, one can also test oneself by trying tests like rolling a dice and then trying to say the numbers from beforehand, or the outcome of a match, etc.
Always remember that if you find yourself to be a psychic gifted with such powers, be thankful and never think of it as a curse. Try and test your powers more, developing it in the process so that you can be of help to your fellow human beings.
