To find out how psychic you are, try answering the following questions.

o Have you been attracted to the occult since you were a child?

o Do you frequently complete other people’s sentences for them?

o Do you always buy the perfect birthday or Christmas gift even though they haven’t told you what they wanted?

o Have you ever thought about something you wanted and then miraculously appeared in your life the next day? This could be something very simple like a desire for a certain type of Chinese food or a pair of shoes.

o When you think of people, do you get a phone call from them shortly after?

or “You talk” inside your head with a deceased relative, such as an aunt or grandfather who you feel is like a guardian angel looking out for you.

o Do you experience nausea and other symptoms of physical distress when you are near a cemetery or other places where people have died?

o Have you ever had a dream and it came true?

o Have you ever felt when someone has died?

o Can you tell the story of an object just by lifting it?

o Do you cry a lot in a sad movie?

o Does it seem to attract the walking wounded (people with problems, such as alcoholics or addicts), more than most people in life?

o Have you ever won the lottery by guessing a couple of numbers?

o Have you ever been in bed and felt as if your soul was leaving your body and you were looking at yourself from the ceiling?

o Have you ever had epilepsy, brain damage, or manic depression?

o Were any of your ancestors psychic?

Assign 1 point for each question to which you have answered yes.

If your score is seven points or less, you are not unusually psychic. You were born with the natural radar that most humans possess.

If your score is between eight and twelve points, then you are definitely an intuitive and have a skill that can be cultivated in something else. Others are likely to be drawn to you because of your empathy.

If you scored between thirteen and sixteen points, then you have unusual talent and should explore a career as a professional healer, medium, or psychic.

An explanation of the results:

o Most psychics develop an interest in the occult very early in life, often even before the age of twelve.

o Completing other people’s sentences for them is a very fine-tuned form of intuition. Couples do this because they are so connected to each other.

o Giving someone exactly what they want for Christmas is another example of intuition or “tuning in” to someone else’s thoughts.

o Making your little wishes come true just by thinking about them is a rudimentary form of manifestation. The ability to manifest dreams in matter or manifest coincidences is a sign that you are not only in tune with your psychic abilities, but also with your higher self.

o If you think of someone and they call you, it is a form of telepathy (sending a message from mind to mind) at work.

o Psychics are believed to be hosts of ancient spirits. If you find yourself frequently speaking to a deceased relative in your head, you may be a medium, a person who can channel the spirits of the dead.

o They don’t call it a “hunch” for nothing. Psychic people often feel nausea or a pain in the center of the forehead or on the top of the head if they are near a place where spirits gather. Many psychics will also feel this if they are around toxic or negative people.

o If you have dreams that come true, then it can be said that you are blessed with the gift of prophecy.

o Psychics, mediums, and other intuitive types often know inside when someone else has died. This is because they feel that person’s connection dramatically intensify over a few hours or days, or they may even feel a sense of loss or disconnection.

o The ability to tell the story of an object or feel who owned it is called clairvoyance. This means that it can pick up messages through its flesh. Many say they feel a buzzing or itchy sensation in the palm of their hand when this happens to them.

o If you cry a lot at a sad movie, or even any sad story, this means that you have a wonderful ability to empathize with others. However, the danger of being able to “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” and understand it can be dangerous, as the feeling often feels like love. Women in bad relationships often mistake their feelings of empathy for feelings of soul love.

o Psychic individuals tend to attract troubled individuals for a couple of reasons. One of them is that people who have problems are intuitively attracted to others with healing or empathic abilities. Very often, the person who approaches you feeling this will say something like “You are the only person who understands me.” There is also the principle that light attracts darkness. The brighter and more enlightened you are as a person, the more you tend to attract negative events that challenge your progress on the path of your soul.

o If you have won the lottery, you are very lucky or very psychic!

o Out-of-body experiences and nightmares in which you are being taken out of your body are very common among psychics. It indicates the ability to astral travel and speak with other spirits.

o It is sad but true, but many psychics are people who have hit rock bottom with their emotions or their nervous system. The sixth sense often arises out of a need when the person lacks common sense or even the five usual senses due to illness.

o If you come from a long line of fortune tellers, readers, or prophetic people, chances are that you will be able to develop the same skills.
