Merged New telepathy test: which number did I write ?

I also got a 4, but on hindsight I may actually have gotten a 2 twice. So, congratulations.
 
3, I think my string was something like ccnumber3qwerty. I wanted it to be easy to remember but I was being half hearted in remembering it.

I was going to guess 2 at first but I kept getting a vivid 3.

Now, the credibility ratings. I would like to stress that the credibilities I am about to give now may be only preliminary, as some new elements, that I am not aware of now, may lead me to revise them later.

NO!

To all three participants, please do not reveal anything about your answer or your hash string until Michel H posts his non-preliminary credibility ratings, and agrees that he cannot change them any further.

Changing your credibility ratings once you know which answers are correct will completely invalidate them.

Also, did you notice that you never give anyone a negative credibility when you do not know who is correct and who isn't? It is almost as if you cannot discard answers until you are certain which ones you want to discard. Do you understand how this demonstrates that your credibility ratings are the antithesis of the scientific method?

Edit: Dammit, too late. Nay_Sayer already posted his. Let the circus begin!

Why did you do this?

I was bored.

Either way I'd like to propose an actual test protocol fixes for you Michel:


1: I actually don't mind the md5 hashes, They do prevent people from influencing others and adding in if they edit the post it isn't valid is fine by me.

2: Credibility ratings need to go, They are a needless frivolity that only serves to annoy people.

3: Your range of numbers is just silly. Transmit a specific 6 digit number.

So I gather that the voices you sometimes hear, which you attribute to other people rather than only existing in your head, are different from the way you think everyone else ought to hear you. Is that right? The voices you hear are directing messages particularly at you personally, but the thoughts of yours which you believe we all hear are not aimed at anyone in particular?

And one other point (which you may already have explained but sorry if I missed that too) - do you believe that all of your thoughts are available for anyone to overhear or is it only when you make a conscious effort to send out a particular thought that you think others will hear it?

Yes, I think that's right (or about right).

My impression is that people know many of my thoughts (not necessarily all), but, as far as I know, I cannot consciously control this (still hypothetical, but apparent) phenomenon. In other words, the hypothetical phenomenon would be a kind of "thought leakage", which is actually imposed upon me and that I cannot control, whether I like or not.

It's not even remotely apparent.

Good luck with this. Michel insists on credibility ratings because he believes there is no one, not even his close friends, who can be trusted to consistently be honest when taking the test. It is how he reconciles his testing failures with he belief in his magical powers.

He also will continue to ignore the recommendation to choose a number large enough to make his test effective. Again, his experience has shown that people will fail to answer his test correctly under those circumstances. He rationalizes this by concluding people are too intimidated to admit they receive numbers from him that are larger than 4.

and, in your second "essential" post (not just a comment), you write:

"My number was a '2', and the string I used to produce the MD5 hash was:
2. ouh&~#d jkjb→khf µ&~#-!?}§"

Thank you for revealing your number so quickly, Nay_Sayer. It is unfortunate, though, that you don't fully know the string you hashed, you should have written it down carefully on a paper, or copy and pasted it into a Wordpad or Notepad file, I said in the OP that I would ask you to post it. I am afraid this will probably not have a very good effect on your final credibility rating, if I give one.

And the cherry picking commences!

This is specifically why I suggested people do not post their answer until Michel H finalizes his ratings. Oh well. Another "test" made useless by Michel's failure of a protocol.

I'd be interested to know whether you have a sensation of which specific thoughts are kept private and which leak out, or whether you just have an overall sense that some portion of your thoughts leak out but you don't know which.

The reason I ask is that I wonder why you are convinced that the sensation of your thoughts leaking out is caused by your thoughts actually leaking out, and not caused by something else entirely. (Of course I have the benefit of being able to know that I cannot hear anyone else's thoughts ever, so I can say for sure that your thoughts do not leak out to me.)

I know, But I wanted to be honest with you.
 
I wonder if my hash generating sentence will influence my sooper dooper number 4 credibility rating.

Is it 4 out of 5? That is pretty credible, but as I said I was using my healing crystal adorned ley line following dowsing rod whilst resplendent in my bigfoot outfit. Couldn't lose really.
