Try Out Your ESP - Fun Tests & Serious Research

In summary, two tests for testing ESP were provided: a simple test and a more sophisticated one. The probability statement used in the first test may be questionable, as one user achieved a higher success rate than expected. However, it is noted that the expected result for any card is 20%. In the second test, one user was judged to have no evidence for ESP, but their calculator RNG was deemed clairvoyant.

I am getting the feeling there is something wrong about the probability statement used in this one. In 7 out of 10 trials I did, pressing only the square card 10 times, I acheived over 20% success rate. I smell a rat... or maybe I'm just very lucky

Probably a fairer test is to compare results with that obtained by another RNG...



In the second test, It judged me as having no evidence for esp, but told me my calculator RNG was clairvoyant. Which is pretty disturbing.

20% is the expected result - 1:5 for any card. Why do you think that something is wrong?

Because in my placebo run I got consistently better than expected. Though this can be just a statistical fluke.

Lies, damned lies, and...
