Title says it all. I know a lot about it. Shoot me any questions you want, and I'll be glad to answer. (Please don't delete my thread, I can assure you I am not trolling.)
 
What part of your psychic experiences would be repeatable under rigorous scientific testing? What, during your testing, have you done to minimize or rule out error and bias? What is the nature of your psychic experiences, and how is it different than randomized guessing?

#EDIT: We're gonna need a LOT more meat to go with those potatoes before we can really dig in, here.
 
I have a few predictions.

1. Any experiences will be unverifiable or nonsensical.
2. Any experiences will be explainable by high school level understanding of random chance and statistical distribution.
3. Any experiences will be explainable by confirmation bias.

Boy you sure want the whole package in 1 post, don't ya? :)
First question: A very unreliable and small part of my experiences would be repeatable under this testing. I am not saying it doesn't show itself, however. It is just, unreliable, to say the least.
Second question: To rule out error and bias I have used the conclusions of many experiences over a long period of time and I have also used a sense of reality and logic.
Third question and also addressing rustypouch: The nature of my experience cannot be described so briefly. What you read won't include what is fully going on. But what I do is generally thought manipulation.
 
present us with your evidence.

anecdotes to start are fine

Please, what events have lead you to believe you have psychic ability?

Yeah that's about what I expected.

My experiences do not exactly fit your predictions, sorry to say :)

And some anecdotes for you, StankApe, would be:

Walking behind somebody and making them turn around to look behind them at a time when I was just so happening to give them the feeling to do what they were doing, and they looked at a time where I wasn't making noise, or necessarily giving out a specific reason to look. Oh yeah and if I give out the feeling like "wtf are you doing I know why you're turning to look in my exact direction" they stop and turn back to facing forward.

Influencing somebody's speech over an intercom system in a department store to exactly my thought process.

Influencing peoples speech in many common interactions with other people.

Influencing peoples actions to exactly my thought process that would be a total unnatural movement or action for them in that specific situation.

The feeling I get that I'm manipulating others, I can't explain, but just by the feeling I'm getting I know they are receiving it. And by their clear reactions, and addressing it with my words in any way, I know what just happened.

(I may be a little late answering the next post, but I'll be back soon.)

roryboryalice, from what you've given so far, at least here, there could be other explanations for those experiences. I'm not saying any of these are the case, but let me list some possibilities:

1) Confirmation bias: This means that when you try to do this, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. But you only really keep track of the times it works, so it seems to happen a lot, when it could be just chance.

2) Some mental illnesses can give you the feeling your thoughts are being broadcast. It's very hard so see through this, because it takes your brain to figure it out, and if your brain is low on some biochemical, it can confuse your interpretation of events.

3) Moving the goalposts: Maybe you thought something like "Turn left". And they didn't, And then later they turned around, but the other way. And you counted it because thinking, well, I really meant just turn, not turn left.


Any thoughts there?

I do that all the time - on myself. I haven't had much luck influencing other peoples thoughts though...

How often are you able to do this, and how often do you fail?

How do you know (apart from getting a 'feeling') that it is your thoughts that are influencing them, and not something else?

How do you know that they aren't influencing your thoughts, and that the 'feeling' that you are influencing them isn't them planting the idea in your mind?

All of this is easily explainable by lying, a fantasy prone personality, and self delusion. In fact that is, by several leagues, the most likely explanation. Please tell me how any of this could be independently corroborated?

I remember Rory from Australia. Hi Rory, how's it going? You still have to remotely view the object on the shelf under my sink.

Bottle of Liquid Plumber? The garbage disposal wrench? Bottle of dish soap (washing up liquid or whatever you call it there in anglo saxon land)? Dust! It's dust, right?

How am I doing?

A bottle of silver polish. Bought in 1991 or 1992 and used once on a scratched plastic watch crystal, but didn't work very well.

How am I doing? Close, right?

1993 maybe?

There is such an item there, but not on the shelf. Close though. Your psychic powers are coming along fine, much better than roryboyalice's.
 
I have plenty of psychic experiences!

Unfortunately they are usually wrong.

I'm an ANTI-PSYCHIC! I am wrong outside the probability of chance!

where's my million bucks? ;)

The intercom thing sounds familiar.
 
"Unfortunately for me - I have delusions of having psychic experiences"

Fixed that for you.
 
Let me guess, you're in your mid to late 20's and you've noticed this over the last 10 years.

In a sentence, you think your mind and another's mind are combining in some way.

Were your natural parents very strange or quirk?

I used to be convinced I was psychic and having all sorts of paranormal experiences.
Then I started having gran mal seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy.

Yes and of course these points would have to be taken into consideration to judge this sort of thing. They kind of tie together but i'll try to explain.
For the first one, I can't deny that I do this. But being who I am, that's just what I do sometimes. The main point isn't how much this happens, it's that it does happen. And when it does, it is caused purely by my thought. And the times it does happen is more than once a day, but how can you be sure if it is real that time, and not just what you're looking for? Well that brings me to point 2.

Something I realized about myself a long time ago, and it still holds true today. I will never lose my grasp, or sense of reality. It's something to me almost as it is to anyone - a grip on what's actually going on. (Except if you're around me, your viewpoints on the situation will be getting skewed :)

And the 3rd one just doesn't really fit. What I do is think an opinion. That's it(most of the time), a judgemental thought goes through my mind. Then all of a sudden people react as if this thought was a reality. And obviously people are slightely self concious, and think things about themselves. But in the realm of what I cause, it is much different than this. At times I have no phsyical influence on what they could be doing, it is purely a thought or feeling in my head.

As to the others, I have never been to Australia and I haven't told anyone I can do this. The only people that really know of this are my friends who are aware it happens. I'm sure anyone you're thinking I am is just a confusion ^.^

I'm actually a fresh 20 and noticed this started happening about when I was 17. Though I always had increased intuition as a kid.(lolol every1 has intuition as a kid). These experiences became exaggerated due to events happening directly related to them and my own thoughts.

I believe that sentence comes across my mind in a way and only for a small amount of the experiences that happen, and that's only because I don't have a full understanding of it myself.

And both my parents are very social and I have a very successful businessman father.
Hope that answers your questions :)

No they don't. You only imagine this.
 
Could you be bit more specific? I am taking you seriously, but really, you sound like a teenager experimenting with some weird thought. Not a true psychic. I probably would avoid JREF if I were you because the people here are mature in their beliefs and have examined the arguements thoroughly. I have never met a psychic who called themselves psychic. The term is mainly used by scammers to make a bit of coin.

Ok I posted late. Intuition is not psychic ability. It is able to be measured scientifically and the activity can be found in brain scans. You are all, all, all, over the place============================Heeehe. Go to school and get A's. Or go to psychic school and become a scam artist.

Wait you mean sixth sense don't you? Thats when you don't get on a plane because you have a bad feeling about it and the damn thing crashes.

Wow this is fun.

Actually I never called my self a psychic until I made this thread, I didn't what else to say really. Truth is I hate everything that happens to me, and if I could get rid of this and set mankind back on this subject 500 years I might.

I'm here to talk after all so when a specific question comes up, I will answer it. :)

Edit: And maybe what you said makes sense due to the fact I called myself a psychic, and that you didn't read my post yet. But I can assure you, there is definitely a reason in my brain why these events are happening to me, I never said otherwise. Real talk here, why else would this be happening, if there wasn't a brain related reason for it? When I said psychic, I was going off the dictionary term, "pertaining to the human mind." And, " outside of scientific knowledge" just because we haven't discovered this yet. My point is, I cause things purely by thoughts in my head or an overwhelming feeling i'm getting.

Sounds psychotic. Go get some meds. Your whole post sounds delusional and disordered. I am schizophrenic so I have some experience there. Don't worry about the stigma. Being mentally ill is an exclusive club that the vast majority couldn't join even if they wanted to. Whats fun about being schizophrenic is the pills dont work all that well, so you will still get to be schizophrenic, even though you are taking your meds.

I know that post sounded schizophrenic. But this is the real world, it isn't some fairy tale where people get a textbook definition super power for their using. It is something real that happens to me, and it just so happens it's something I don't want at all. And meds don't really interfere with what I experience.
 
I used to think I was psychic. Then I realized I just paid attention to details. Came in handy when I was a salesman to get the right item into my customer's hands without worrying about them bringing it back for a refund.

I also can recognize patterns, so sometimes I know what certain people are going to say before they say it...because it's the same kind of thing they say every time, and personality types tend to group together creating their own diction making them more predictable.

I suggest a career in counseling or law enforcement.
