World Interest in Psychic Powers

Psychic powers are a very popular topic within mainstream culture. Television shows such as Ghost Whisperer, Medium, The Dead Zone and America's Psychic Challenge all reflect an overwhelming public interest in psychic functions. In fact, a CBS News poll released in 2002 reported that 57 percent of Americans believe in psychic phenomenon. Furthermore, despite the fact that scientists have yet to conclusively prove the existence of psychic functioning in the lab, 16 percent of those who responded to the poll reported that they personally had a psychic experience.

Finding a Free Psychic Test

There are four major types of experiences reported by people who believe they have had a psychic experience.

• Clairvoyance: This ability includes seeing visions or having dreams that seem to come true at a later date.
• Telepathy: Telepathy involves occurrences like sometimes saying the same things at the same time, picking up the phone to call a friend at the very moment they call you. It's like sharing thoughts without speaking.
• Precognition: This skill involves having daydreams or nighttime dreams that reveal information about people or places that you later learn is accurate.
• Synchronicity: Two apparently unrelated events take place that, when they occur at or near the same moment, reveal themselves to you as strikingly meaningful coincidences.

Many people who experience one, or several, of these phenomena in their lives often brush them off as odd coincidences or flukes. Others brush their experience off as a case of natural intuition. However, anyone who has experienced a significant number of these events in their life often seeks out resources to test whether or not these seemingly paranormal events stem from psychic ability. For this specific purpose, there are a number of psychic tests freely available throughout the Internet.

The Zenner Card Test

One of the basic psychic tests that the majority of free psychic test website offer is the Zenner Card Test. The test is extremely simple, and it's based on the work of psychologist Dr. Karl Zenner of Duke University, North Carolina, in the 1920s. The test Dr. Zenner constructed uses a set of 25 cards featuring one of five possible symbols (a circle, square, star, cross, or waves).

The test operated as follows:

1. The "tester" shuffles the cards.
2. The "tester" attempts to mentally send the symbol displayed on the top card to the "recipient".
3. The recipient tries to guess the symbol using psychic abilities.
4. All 25 cards are completed, and possibly repeated.
5. Psychic ability is suspected if the number of correct answers reaches a level greater than statistics can attribute to chance.

Dr. Michael Daniels, Ph.D, constructed a website called Psychic Science where he offers a Free Zenner Card Test. Dr. Daniels is the author of two books and many articles on the subject of psychology and parapsychology.

The Institute of Noetic Sciences

The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) was founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, with the goal to explore psychic functioning and its impact on society using science with an open mind. The Institute provides three interactive games developed by Dean Radin, IONS' senior scientist. Each game is intended to test different aspects of psychic ability.

Additionally, the games collect sample data from the public for use in the Institute's ongoing research.

• The Halls of Healing include three games that test elements of psychic functioning called "intention", "attention" and "intuition".

• The Garden of Dreams is a second set of three games that tests and trains intuitive skills.

• Wild Divine is an adventure game in development that promises to provide biofeedback to players that, the website claims, gives players the ability to interact with the game through thought, breath and other forms of biofeedback.

The Boundary Institute

Another reputable website that offers a free psychic test is the Boundary Institute, run by Dr. Richard Shoup, Ph.D, and Thomas Etter. The mission of the Boundary Institute is to help advance 21st century science, and the research themes are focused on physics, mathematics and computer science.

The Boundary Institute offers free informal tests that test psychic functioning based on techniques used in formal lab experiments. The tests require completion of a registration and a questionnaire. Once you complete the tests, the webpage immediately provides your results.

Fourmilab Switzerland

John Walker, the creator of AutoCAD (a CAD drawing and design program), created the Fourmilab website to provide the public with information on the subjects of computing and science. Walker's site hosts a page providing free RetroPsychoKinesis experiments. Retropsychokinesis is the ability to alter random data before that data is displayed. Since computers are ideal "random-number generators", John provides the public with three fascinating (and oddly addictive) biofeedback Java applets that promise to test this psychic ability. The tests include the "Bell Curve", "Clock Face" and "Pendulum".

Evaluating Your Results

There has always been somewhat of a knee-jerk negative reaction from the general public when someone claims psychic ability. This is due, in large part, to the fact that so many fraudulent claims are made by those who do not have any such ability. These false claims do a disservice to those people who are experiencing authentic and strange psychic ability and associated paranormal activity around them.

If you experience cases of odd coincidences and the ability to read other people's thoughts, or you find that your dreams often come true, there could be a very strong possibility that you have true psychic abilities. Make use of the free psychic tests available online to determine whether or not you are experiencing authentic psychic phenomenon.
