Carn:
Following is my draft application:
First step: I print the following quoted content on the front side of a paper:
Second step: I print the following quotated content on the back side of the paper:
Third step: I sign my signature under the notarized words. Chinese signature or English signature?
Forth step: I bring the paper to a local notary public and do notarization in Chinese or English? Maybe the notary public does not know English.
Fifth step: I mail the paper to James Randi in an envelope and some SSAE (stamped, self-addressed envelope ).
Please give comment about the procedures. Thank you!
The procedure is unimportant, though i think that's what to do, except for the most important part:
What will you claim to be able to do?
As you will have to negotiate with JREF a test protocol, you should know what you can achieve. This is due to the simple reason, that JREF will try to make test cheap, easy, fast and with obvious results.
E.g. if someone claimed he is able to heal anything quickly, then JREF might suggest that he tries to regrow someone's lost leg. Then his answer could be, no i only meant diseases, not physical injuries, then JREF would suggest, fine, what about someone has more cancer than lungs and is just living, because relatives could not yet decide to turn the machines off.
Then his answer could be, no, only people who are not already lying on their deathbed.
JREF answer might be then, what the hell exactly are you claiming to be able to do?
So you should have a fair idea about what you are able to do and what you are not able to do(and should have tried) and i do not think you know that yet.
Are you able to heal yourself?
Are you able to heal physical injuries(e.g. a small cut) or speed the process up? That could be even a good thing for a DBPC.
This has been added, because some applicants agreed to tests and were very confident they would pass. But they failed and its embarassing, if you boast with some ability and in the test, you fail to demonstrate any. This can be avoided, by personally trying a test oneself the way the JREF test would look like(simplified as far as needed). Most of those applicants that failed, could have made a simple test on their own and realized, that they would fail the test.Shine Sun said:
At the end, I read the following quoted words:
I am afraid a little. I think it would be better to do more tests. what is your comment?
E.g. dowsers have applied, claiming they can find water. JREF suggested a test, where a number of painted or hidden bottles were presented to applicants and they should determine which ones had water in. The applicants were asked to say how big the chance is that they determine whether such a bottle has water in or not. Although few dowsers ever tried to dowse under such conditions, most agreed to score 90-100% of the times correct.
In the tests then they did not perform better than chance.
While this does only prove they cannot dowse for water in bottles, it shows that the applicants did not prepare in any way for the test, because a simpified test could have been done at home and they could have avoided the embarassment of totally failing.
Instead many then try to find mistakes in test protocol afterwards, which kept them from performing, and complain, which makes them even more fool, as they agreed to the protocol and they could have tested it beforehand.
Therefore try to specify as accurate as possible, what you are able to do, if you do not know what you can do, then you could fail even, if you have a paranormal ability.

Check, that the pain does not arise from a illness of your own body.
