Ash, it's obvous you have inverse psychic powers because of your skepticism. You subconsiously choose the wrong card because admitting your powers would shatter your world view. It's clear that you're a very gifted and powerful psychic. For just 25 dollars, I could train you to overcome your subconscious inhibitions and unlock the power of your mind!
 
I got 6 right by clicking the first card every time. You think the margin for chance is a bit off?

By picking the second card every time, I got 10 right! That's statistically signifigant!

2 out of 10 for the last card every time. I did worse than chance relying on chance.

7 out of 10 for picking the square every time. The square makes you psychic!
 
The test could be done with these cards.

It's a photo of five Zener cards so we can't really use them.

What a strange comment.
 
I did it three times and got 6/25 each time. I guess that makes me evil. I'd better go hide in some jpeg artifacts.

Isn't that the exact problem? Anyone who gets any result that appears to differ from chance may get the wrong idea and start thinking they are psychic, even though they fall within standard chance parameters.
It might be fun, but I don't think it would have any real use.

Anyway here is a 25 trial Zener test for fun.

I thought it would be fun to really concentrate and see what popped into my mind. I got 9 right on my first try. Obviously I am psychic and should be earning big bucks from my powers. :D

The star on your link is a wicca star, which I think might change the results-ie some people would avoid it and some people would be attracted to it. I wonder why they chose it.

The other point is, that you don't know what the result is until you have done all 25 sets of cards, this isn't testing clairvoyance this is testing your Jedi powers.


I got 4/25.

I think he's saying that star looks like a pentacle...

Well, test, you got 11 / 25 correct (44%)
By chance we would expect 5 / 25 correct guesses (20%)
For 25 trials, a score of 9 or above would be statistically significant
