How do Psychic Tests Work?


Psychic tests are short examinations you can perform, either on your own, or with the help of a friend. These psychic tests are a good way to evaluate your abilities and determine if you are progressing well through your psychic training. Going through one or more psychic tests is a good idea once or twice, if only to remind you about the limits to your powers.

Chances are, you will have significant difficulty with these tests, particularly if you do not limit the number of possible choices. No matter how gifted you are, if your friend asks “What am I thinking about right now?” you have almost no chance to correctly identify an object, situation, or person from that. Even an experienced psychic would probably be completely unable to tell you the answer.

99% of psychics cannot turn on their abilities “on command”. Most of them receive psychic signals naturally and effortlessly, as if from thin air. Very few are able to point their conscious in a particular direction and figure out what is happening, even if the situation is extremely important to them. It simply does not work that way.

This is, of course, the major problem with psychic tests. They don’t really put you in the right set of circumstances to prove anything about the depth of your training or your own abilities, since they don’t put you in a normal situation you can deal with. Overall, it is this psychic’s belief that psychic tests are a tremendous waste of time, money, and effort, and are not worth pursuing.

Do psychic tests actually prove anything?

Psychic Power Tests


Most psychic power tests are powerless to achieve measurable results.  That is not to say that these abilities are not proven, though.  The fact of the matter is that ordinary instruments are not capable of measuring extraordinary things.  Instead, psychic power tests can be used to guage the potential of a particular practitioner.  For instance, a person can exhibit psycho-kinetic talents, and the results of psychic power tests will determine how effectively that person use them, but cannot prove that the talent is a scientifically proven skill.

 

The purpose of most psychic power tests, therefore, is to establish in which areas are person’s skills are most active.  Some people are more adept at mind-reading, while others display more inclination at future seeing, or divination.  Everyone has mental abilities in one or more realms, ranging from clairvoyance to telekinesis, and psychic power tests are used to determine which area is best suited for each person’s abilities.

 

As an example, I am unable to move objects with my mind, but have a medium amount of telepathic ability.  On certain days, my ability to look into someone’s mind is uncannily apparent, but other days it is reduced to being only slightly effective.  A lot factors combine to increase extrasensory perception, including my diet, health, and mental attitude.  Location is a factor as well, since it is far easier to pick up the thoughts of a nearby person when there are only the two of us, than it is distinguish one person’s thought from among a group of people, or in a noisy environment.  This holds true for most physical accomplishments also, such as writing an article or playing the piano.

 

For this reason, carefully choose the time and surroundings used for undergoing psychic power tests.  If you are distracted, you will not rate well.  If you are calm and your mind is focused, you will perform much better.  A person who is able to see distant places may not do as well with future divination, but that will vary from individual to individual, because it is very likely that they may have strengths in more than one field.  We all have unique talents, just as everyone one of us has a different set of fingerprints.  In many ways, psychic power tests can be compared to fingerprints, as these experiments help us to understand our own specific mental abilities.
