Do you sometimes know things without having been told them?
Do you know exactly what your friends are thinking?
Do you feel events before they happen?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, or perhaps even knew what the next question was going to be, then you might be psychic!

Our institute’s mission is to detect, identify, and rigorously examine any instance of psychic activity. As a public service, we are pleased to present this quiz. Its questions are the result of years of painstaking research. Rest assured that this is not a frivolous game. We take psychic phenomena as seriously as you do. As a reader of this magazine, clearly, you have identified yourself as committed, interested, or even obsessed with the unknown.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab a pencil and paper and get started. Work your way through the quiz, note your score after each question segment, and then total everything up at the end. You might be surprised by what you discover!
