I don't know how that tactic works, or how it proves telepathy or any other metaphysical hogwash is going on. There are quite a few people on this forum board, and a lot of them are participating in this thread putting forth guesses. With a limit between one and four the odds of people's answers matching or over lapping are extremely good.

Which is why I'm not playing. It's like flipping a coin and it being "Heads, it's psychic; tails, it's not a coincidence."
 
Iamme said:
Michel, for those who have guessed? your chosen number...have you ever asked them what caused them to pick that particular number? Did any actually say anything like 'I had this feeling come over me that drew me to that number'. ??? Or do they say 'I just went eenie, meenie, minie, mo....and just picked one'. ???

I think it is fair to say that I have (generally) not received a lot of details about that. Perhaps there is something like a "double consciousness" going on, whereby people "perceive" me, while perceiving themselves much more accurately and constantly, and without going crazy (the assumed telepathic phenomenon seems to be well tolerated).


Newcomers in the thread, please go to post #1031 to find the opening post of this test. Please, do answer! I need more answers (only one or two valid so far)

Fair enough. I think we agree that the attempt is being made to force the actual evidence agree with the foregone conclusion at any cost.

I object to this test on grounds that MD5 is not sufficiently secure for this application

Thank you for your answer, Snorkio. You did not provide a MD5 hash, as requested in the opening post, but I think I will probably accept your answer, as you seem to have concerns about the security of this test, that we should strive to make as high as we reasonably can.

Michel, how many numbers have you received from posters here so far? Of those, how many have you discarded?
 
Michel, are you also conducting similar tests in other friendlier forums? If so, how do your results there compare to here?
 
Michel, you said in a post above that your mother thinks you may be telepathic.
Could your MOTHER be telepathic and you inherited it? Have you had HER conduct tests? Maybe there is a genetic basis to it. Of course...IF you have abilities over chance. Unfortunately, you never mentioned about a father and i wont ask.

If you need friendly responses to prove your abilities then why are you running your test here?. Everyone here can see that the number of people not friendly to your claims is much , much greater than the number who are friendly to your claims. Can you see this fact?

Do you understand why this board cannot help you prove your case?

Why doing a test on this forum? Let's see... First, I have received good answers in my tests on this forum, to which you have yourself contributed. Second, a success on this forum of an Educational Foundation would perhaps entail more recognition by human Society than a possible success on a smaller, lesser known forum. Third, I have a scientific background, so perhaps I feel perhaps, sometimes, more at ease on this forum, of a Foundation which officially tries to promote good Science (whether it promotes it really is perhaps less sure and obvious lol), than I would, say, on a religious or a parapsychology forum for example.
And I want to add that I do frequent other forums, which may be very good sometimes. I have already done online telepathy tests in French, English, Dutch and German (1 test in German).

One or two valid answers so far (see blue text below).

Yes I do, sometimes, I do get some interesting results overthere too. All forums have advantages and disadvantages.

I have done a telepathy test with my mother on the phone in 2002, which was successful (statistically significant results). However, after this success, she has always refused to do another test again. However, I do not think she is telepathic the same way I am.

So others can fail to be telepaths even if they appear to pass a test?
What then is your test intended to prove?

Well, I wouldn't say that my mother "fails to be a telepath" (like you say), or that she is not telepathic. I think that we are probably all telepathic (including my mother), with an ability to transmit as well as receive telepathic signals, probably of an electromagnetic nature; I believe animals are also telepathic. However, it would seem that I am "special", with an involuntary tendency to communicate my thoughts to others, "rather strongly", even far away, and neither my mother, nor my father, to my knowledge, are special like that.

So an apparently significant result does not mean your mother is special. So again why would the same result convince anybody you are special? Why do the same psitive results mean different outcomes for two people?
 
Michel, your test is invalidated by answers.yahoo saying more people choose #3 when picking a number between 1 and 4. You cant have any accurate test when a known bias is out there.
 
Iamme...

Surely a 'telepath' could read ANY number..after all they are 'telepathic'..

I say, pick a number between between 1 and 1,000,000

Or am i missing the point?

No, no, a thousand times NO! This is exactly the sort of dishonest, unscientific nonsense that makes all of your tests worthless. You are tentatively accepting his/her answer now, so you include or reject it at a later time, once you know whether or not it is correct. This is exactly what you did last time, and the main reason why you cannot be trusted to do accurate, honest research.

In a way: the OP has been told multiple times why his method is flawed, but his flawed method is the only way that he can pretend to see evidence of telepathy.

He fears a legitimate test as it would prove his claim invalid.
