What is the easiest way to verify someone is psychic?

Question

If a person could correctly guess dice rolls and guessed correctly thirty times consecurtively, then would that become verifiable evidence or still be considered coincidence? How many dice rolls would the individual need to correctly guess consecutively for it to be verifiable evidence?

"Everyone is psychic.

some people are just more intuitive than others"

Yes, I do believe that. But it isn't recognized by society, which if it were verified then it would be.

Here's a real, genuine offer. I'll roll a dice five times here. If you post here, and/or email me, the correct results (5 dice rolls in advance), I'll partner you (in the Randi challenge, etc), and we'll *both* be multi-millionaires, become world-famous, and have our pick of women.

What say you?

Actually, I could care less about the money.

I need to experiment with predictions on objects. I have dreams and flashes that are actually predictions. The dreams that are predictions have a very different feeling from normal dreams. The predictions on dice is rather weird, because when I correctly guessed thirty times consecutively, I focused specifically on the object half the time and the other half of the time I had a friend visualize the object in his head. It could be mere prediction or telepathy or both. The thirty consecutive predictions took thirty minutes, an average of one minute of focus each time. Sometimes I can predict on a split second and know I'm right.

How about this. After I've figured exactly what it is that makes it tick, I'll email you and find out if its at all distance related.

Answer 1

'Those who believe that ESP may exist point to numerous scientific studies that appear to offer evidence of the phenomenon's existence: the work of J. B. Rhine, Russell Targ, Harold E. Puthoff and physicists at SRI International in the 1970s, and many others, are often cited in arguments that ESP exists.

The main current debate concerning ESP surrounds whether or not statistically compelling laboratory evidence for it has already been accumulated. The most compelling and repeatable results are all small to moderate statistical results. Some dispute the positive interpretation of results obtained in scientific studies of ESP, because they are difficult to reproduce reliably, and are small effects. Parapsychologists have argued that the data from numerous studies show that certain individuals have consistently produced remarkable results while the remaider have constituted a highly significant trend that cannot be dismissed even if the effect is small."

"SRI International is one of the world's largest contract research institutes. "

"Parapsychologists employ a variety of approaches during the study of apparent paranormal phenomena. These methods include qualitative approaches used in traditional psychology, but also quantitative empirical methodologies. Their more controversial studies involve the use of meta-analyses in examining the statistical evidence for psi."

Answer 2

If Zena Rae or you were to read some of the more rational literature on Rhine and Targ and Puthoff, you would be amazed to see how sloppy their work was. And in some cases, it was downright laughable. BTW, Stanford University has denied any connection with the research of Targ and Puthoff in SRI. They stole the school's name for false credibility.

One example of their work involved a subject who was trying to guess what was in a picture. One of the researchers hummed the theme of Star Trek to try to help him along. Uri Geller was allowed to hold and shake an unsealed box with a die in it. James Randi has demonstrated how one can take a peek in the box with people sitting right in front of him, and not get caught. In all the runs where Geller "succeeded", they were not filmed. On the only run that was filmed, he "passed" on several attempts, took a very long time to come up with answers, and still didn't have an impressive score.

The history of such research is rife with fraud and deliberately poor test protocols. And those are the ones that can be documented. For many others we depend solely on the experimenter's honesty. But whenever a skeptic is present, the tests fail miserably. Why? They say it is because skeptics' negative vibes interfere with psychic ability.

Whatever.

Answer 3

I've already answered your other (identical) question.

Suffice it to say, it's easy to verify, experimentally.

Here's a real, genuine offer. I'll roll a dice five times here. If you post here, and/or email me, the correct results (5 dice rolls in advance), I'll partner you (in the Randi challenge, etc), and we'll *both* be multi-millionaires, become world-famous, and have our pick of women.

Answer 4

If you have such an ability there is no such thing as "guessing". Calling one hundred coin tosses might be good enough, simple two choices rather than six.
Independent double blind tests is the best way. James Randi's challenge is one. If you don't want the money give it to a charity, but prove to the world that psychic powers are not pure speculation.

Answer 5

No one is psychic. Some are just more intuitive than others, meaning some people are able to key in on non-verbal communication.

The real test of a psychic is to be able to predict *specifically* events before they happen. Most psychics use very general predictions and then fill in the blanks and smooth it out after the fact.

Answer 6

Through trial and error. I velieve that I have some psychic ability, and I can be correct more often than not... but I can not do those tests. I do not relax enough and I let myself become way too distracted. I cannot do much more than guess what is behind the card or what ever. I have psychic episodes that are far more "random" where I just know t hings.I'd never be able to make a living at it.

I do not know if t his is only way to tell if you are psychic or not. I do not know if this is any way to tell if you are psychic or not.... I have never seen what John Edward or Sylvia Browne or Rose Alteus could do on these types of tests. Guessing the roll of a die or guessing the correct card with a picture under it is a form of psychometry , but it has little to do with picking up on the energy of a room or a person or an event. It is a great tool to sharpen your skills.... to get the juices flowing, as I have heard that it an excercise to use, but just because you are a great stretcher doesn't mean that you will win the race or visa versa.

Answer 7

There is actually supposed to be a television series on lifetime tv (I believe) about putting self-proclaimed psychics/clairvoyants to the test. Not sure if the show has begun airing or not.

Answer 8

what am I thinking right now? the dice probability you talk of can be mathematically proven, nothing psychic about that. No matter how many times you guessed right, there would be a mathmatic probability for that to happen

Answer 9

So why the heck doesn't a real psychic verify their powers.Then all of us who think they're phonies would shut up.In addition they could collect millions.Of course they wouldn't want it for themselves.So how about the millions of starving children they could help.

Answer 10

Everyone is psychic. We all have the gift, its our individual right to tap into this.
