HOW PSYCHIC ARE YOU? In the past it was a difficult matter, involving lengthy and sophisticated laboratory experiments, to assess an individual’s level of psychic ability. However, it is now possible to evaluate - or, rather, to predict - a person’s psychic quotient, or "Psi-Q", through the answers they give to a series of simple questions. Zak Martin’s Psi-Q test is based on the psychological and physiological factors known to coincide with varying levels of ESP. It predicts, with a reasonably high degree of accuracy, how you would be likely to perform if you were to undergo laboratory tests to determine your level of psychic ability. Note: This is the original Psi-Q test, devised and published as "Test Your Psi-Q" by Zak Martin in 1981. It predates other psychic quotient tests - and several books, including "Know Your Psi-Q" (published 1983) by Carl Sargent and Hans Eysenck - which have, almost without exception, been "based on" Zak Martin's original test.

Rate Your Psi-Q: 200 - 300 Poor. 300 - 350 Below average. 350 - 400 Fair / Average. 400 - 450 Above average. 450 - 500 Good. 500 - 600 Very good. 600 - 650 Excellent. Above 650 - Phenomenal! How did you do? Whether you achieved a high or a low score it is important to remember that this test measures psychological and personality factors known to coincide with varying levels of ESP - including extraversion, expansiveness, right-brain dominance and so on - rather than ESP itself. That can only be measured in the laboratory. It is quite possible to obtain a low score in this test yet achieve a high score in actual ESP tests - and vice-versa - so don't be too disappointed if your score wasn't as high as you'd hoped it would be.
