How to Test for ESP
ESP, or extrasensory perception is the ability to obtain information through means other than the five normal senses of sight, sound, touch, taste or smell. ESP is often called the sixth sense, and believed to include activities such as mental telepathy, clairvoyance and the awareness of past, future and current events. While ESP has never been conclusively proved, there are tests used to evaluate one's telepathic abilities. One of the most common tests involves the use of Zener cards. Zener cards are a deck of 25 cards with five different symbols. The symbols include a square, a circle, a cross, a star and three wavy lines.

Signal the assistant that you are ready. Shuffling the 25 Zener cards, the assistant draws one, and concentrates on the selected image. Allow the image to drift into your mind without coercing it. When you feel the image is the same as the selected image, compare with the card selected by the assistant. Go through the entire deck five times, and keep a record of the results. This will indicate your ability to receive thoughts.

Tally the scores of the tests. Any score up to 20 percent, attribute to chance. Scoring above 20 percent is getting beyond the realm of chance. Repeat the tests over time to see if your score increases.
