Zener Psychic Test
Welcome to my interactive Zener card test, inspired by the important ESP research conducted by J.B. Rhine in the 1930s. This straightforward experiment will give you a chance to explore your own abilities related to extrasensory perception. As you take part, you’ll engage with a method that has interested both scientists and everyday people, allowing you to investigate what the mind can do beyond normal senses. Join me as we look into the potential of human perception!
Here’s how it works:
You’ll be presented with a series of 25 hidden Zener cards, each featuring one of five symbols: a circle, a plus sign, a square, a star, or wavy lines. Your task is to use your intuition to guess which symbol is on each card before it’s revealed.
To play, simply click on the symbol you believe is hidden on the current card. Once you’ve made your choice, the card will flip, revealing whether you guessed correctly. The cards are randomly shuffled by the program, ensuring as fair and unbiased a test as I can make it using PRNG random generators.
After you’ve gone through all 25 cards, you’ll receive your score along with an interpretation of your potential psychic abilities. In Rhine’s original experiments, guessing 7 out of 25 correctly was considered noteworthy, while 10 or more correct guesses were seen as significant evidence of ESP. Are you ready to test your extrasensory perception? Let’s begin and see if you have hidden psychic talents waiting to be discovered!

I love these ESP tests! This reminds me of the faith cultivation method in your new book. It’s amazing how consistent the natural tendency of things is to follow random chance, as described by statistics. And it’s humbling to realize how much effort it takes to find or cause outcomes that break away from that natural randomness. Especially when it comes to very direct actions here (at least in my experience).
Maybe you could somehow add it to the sidebar?
I’m glad that you like it! It’s a fun little challenge that I felt would be really good on the website, and since you asked, I have added it to the sidebar. I hope you keep enjoying it.
At last, here we are. I’ve been grappling with this issue for several years now, and yet a solution has continued to elude me. You mentioned that you used a PRNG (Pseudo-Random Number Generator) for this psychic quiz. But that’s where the real issue lies! Why opt for a PRNG instead of a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), like a quantum-based one? The thing is, a PRNG doesn’t generate truly random numbers. A computer can’t be programmed to act randomly because the nature of programming itself is the opposite of randomness. We, as humans, often believe we can make random choices or generate random numbers with our minds. But I seriously doubt that. Every thought we have is a product of the brain’s prior states, meaning it’s entirely deterministic and shaped by reward or punishment mechanisms. This fundamentally challenges the concept of free will.
On the other hand, quantum computers may have the potential to generate truly random numbers, but even then, we might simply lack the capacity to understand the deeper processes at work—possibly in other dimensions. It would be incredibly valuable if you explored free will through this perspective, as it could help resolve many of the ambiguities surrounding the topic. If anyone can tackle this question, it’s you. I’ve searched far and wide, but no one is addressing it. No one is even asking! It’s driving me crazy. Thank you for taking the time to consider my thoughts.
This is a very hard question Ali, so I am going to have to create an article to try and give you my opinion on it anyway. Give me time with this one and I will turn it into an article as a response.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Loved this exercise. First I experienced the complete disconnection and scored a 4. Then started to guess one after the other untill the “this should be impossible” thought came to ruin everything scoring 9 (from an almost perfect 7)
I write this testimony with the feeling that there should be a path to the 25 without sabotage.
I got 6 correct answers, I closed my eyes and focused inside the white area, the shape appeared on its own and I chose that shape, it was generally correct, I think I need a little more practice.
