They include: 1.  (U) The acquisition of information not presented to any obvious sense. These are perceptual processs that act as information input to an individua}; They are referred to collectively as remote viewing or remote sensing. (1!) Examples include: (a) The (mental) viewing of the contents of a safe, or a distant military site (b) "Pickup" of the thoughts of another. (c) Direct foreknowledge of a future event, such as the firing of a missile. (2) 2. (U) The production of physical effects not mediated by any obvious mechanism. These are perturbation processes that act as action output from an individual. They are referred to collecively as psychokinesis or as remote perturbation. Examples include: , (a) The physical movement of an object by mental effort. a | (b) Perturbation of an electronic or mechanical component, such as a microchip or a gyro, by mental effort. (c) Perturbation of a basic physical process, such as the decay rate of radioactive material, by mental effort. (U) A detailed breakdown of the various psychoenergetic processes is shown on the chart, next page. (1) Clairvoyance, telepathy, extrasensory perception, or precognition in the older terminology.

Specific Objectives (1) (2) qw (3) (4) (3) (6) Personality profile data will be collected from calibrated remote viewers, using an extended Wechsler test. These data will come from two sources; data in hand already obtained from previous SRI viewers, and data obtained by administration of the extended Wechsler to additional remote viewers that can. be made available from the SRI and client pools. The data obtained in (1) will be analyzed in accordance with the P.A.S. (Personality Assessment System) concept (see "An Introduction to the P.A.S.," by J. Winne and J. Gittinger, Monograph Supplement No. 38, Clinical Psychology Publishing Co., Brndon, VT). . from the above analysis, extract indications as to the appropriate personality profile(s) of interest. In parallel with the above effort, self-report data (from such tests as the Myers-Briggs and 16 PF Questionnaire) collected from the same sources would be examined for the purpase of designing a'pre-~screening questionnaire. Analysis of this data would be carried out using the B.P.S. (Behavior Prediction System) concept to generate a scoring key capable of extracting from self-report pre-screening data those individuals with the profile(s) indicated in (3) as being the profile(s) of interest. To test whether the pre-screening test is effective in selecting individuals with the step (3) profiles, a second group of individuals will be given both the pre-screening and extended Wechsler, and the correlations examined. Assuming success in the above attempts to delineate individuals with the appropriate profiles of interest, a series of remote viewing trials would be carried out to verify whether appropriately-profiled individuals do exhibit a talent for remote viewing 4 .
