And you believe in your delusions, because...? From my website: "The IIG Preliminary taught me that I am able to perform just as well in a test setting as anywhere else, and that being in the presence of Skeptics, video cameras, and an audience, and following a test procedure, does not inhibit my claim or performance in any way. I do not become nervous, and the claim is fully capable of expressing itself in a test setting."
You are a poor representative of your university, LightinDarkness. You are expressing your speculations in the form of accusations, of things that I never intend to do and have shown no inclination of ever doing. You are practicing prejudice and you fail as an objective Skeptic.

So how did she do? She failed. Unequivocally she failed the demonstration.
...
But even though she clearly failed the test, I have a problem. She got one right.
...
That’s a problem because instead of admitting that her alleged ability is disproved, she still thinks there is something special about herself and wants to set up another test. I’m sure she’ll convince others that she was at least somewhat successful too. That’s simply not true.
...
Anita Ikonen’s degree of accuracy is completely consistent with that of a guesser. If she really had this ability, you’d think her results would stand apart from what probability would predict. They do not.
I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll bet you a few dollars (U.S. or Australian) that Geemack's and McLuvin's identical selections did not occur by chance.Are you a Contrarian, Rodney?![]()

Anita, you have got so many folks here excited that I almost feel you ought to be paid for your participation here. Please do continue on your quest -- it will undoubtedly provide hours of amusement for all concerned.

Hehe. I must admit I have lately been imagining....

That's not the issue. The issue is what the probability is that Anita's results would have been achieved by random chance. And the answer is 5.67%.
Oh it is. It is. But for some reason you refuse to go have yourself properly analyzed by a competent mental health professional.

You could learn an awful lot more if you go get yourself thoroughly checked out with a mental health professional.![]()
On the front page of www.StopVisionFromFeeling.com there's a survey near the bottom. You don't need to be registered to submit an answer. Here's where the tally stands right now:
She's fooling herself (65) 25%
She's playing games (36) 14%
She's setting up for a future scam (48) 19%
She needs the help of a mental health professional (99) 39%
Her claims are real (9) 4%
I don't think anybody is being flip when they make this recommendation. I remember back to probably last February Anita asking me in private chat, "Do you REALLY think I might be mentally ill?" I was shocked. I thought I had made myself very clear and approached it very seriously as had others. And yet she didn't think I had been serious?
Her actions after this test make it even more clear. She's always fallen back on the excuse that this stuff doesn't interfere with her life, so what's the big deal? Well, now she's spending big money on it, flying across the country, threatening lawsuits and dealing with repercussions of her actions with the staff and faculty at UNCC. It all stems from her perceptions and obsessive pursuit in convincing others they are real.
She needs to drop it and get some help.
Nice spin, but that's not what the protocol clearly stated.
BTW, your claim about "knowing" and "not knowing" (besides being a huge indicator of your inability to distinguish fantasy from reality) is another glaring case of a false memory. Fortunately, we have this on tape.
'Random chance' is redundant and your answer is wrong. That's an F in both English and stat.
No 4.0 for you this semester.
