psychometric
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Etymology: From psycho- + metric.
Senses: examples: text: In 1997, Turkheimer, perhaps the preëminent behavior geneticist of his generation, published a short political meditation called “The Search for a Psychometric Left,” in which he called upon his fellow-liberals to accept that they had nothing to fear from genes. He proposed that “a psychometric left would recognize that human ability, individual differences in human ability, measures of human ability, and genetic influences on human ability are all real but profoundly complex, too complex for the imposition of biogenetic or political schemata.)

psychotronics
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Blend of psycho- + electronics, on the model of French psychotronique which Fernand Clerc proposed in November 1954 in the journal ‘'Vie des Métiers'’, defining it as "use of thought and will"; Clerc's term was popularized by the magazine '‘Toute la Radio'’ in January 1955, which speculated on the possibility of telekinesis, particularly operating microwave printed circuit boards by concentration.
In the late 1960s, the term was popular among parapsychology researchers of the socialist bloc (particularly Zdeněk Rejdák), used instead of parapsychology to avoid its negative connotations and "advance parapsychology as a science" (as stated in the Constitution of the Parapsychological Association in 1957) and because the incorporation of the word electronics better conveyed the focus on energy, and (according to parapsychology researcher Larissa Vilenskaya in 1983) because the term analogized parapsychology to bionics.
The term was then popularized in western world during the second half of the Cold War by science fiction and fears of mind control.
Senses: examples: text: "Other researchers are studying high-frequency generators (those designed to stun the psyche with high frequency waves such as electromagnetic, acoustic, and gravitational); the manipulation or reconstruction of someone's thinking through planned measures such as reflexive control processes; the use of psychotronics, parapsychology, bioenergy, bio fields, and psychoenergy; [..]"
