How do you know if you have telepathic abilities?
Your telepathic ability can be tested. Much work has been done in modern times by the scientific community to legitimize “telepathy”. The most widely accepted and well known telepathy experiments were those of JB Rhine at Duke University. Rhine was not so interested in the electrical activity of a person’s mind. In 1927 he used a set of mental telepathy cards designed by Karl Zener, called (funnily enough) Zener Cards! These are a set of 5 mental telepathy cards with simple figures such as a plus sign, a wave, a star, a square and a circle. The idea behind the cards is that a person will hold up a card and the person being tested is expected to “hit” on what the figure is. An expected score of someone guessing which card is being held up would be around 20% correct. The more times a person is tested on a 25 deck of cards, the more statistically significant the test score becomes. Over time, if the person being tested has not learned how to communicate through telepathy the scores would average out at around 20%. However, powerful telepaths score considerably higher.
