16.2.2. TEST NUMBED EIGHT: AROUND THE CIRCLE
********************************************
A group of objects is placed on a table, so that they form a fair-sized circle. These can be similar; in fact, some can be alike; at a dinner table, for example, you could use objects found there, say two coffee cups, two drinking glasses, a salt shaker, a saucer, a ketchup bottle, a cream pitcher, and a sugar bowl.
Other items might be laid out on a card table, such as a pencil, a pack of cigarettes, a dollar bill, a notebook, and the like.
In either case, the persons present decide upon one object while you, as the demonstrator, are absent from the room, or have turned away.
No one looks directly at the chosen object, but all keep it mind. Upon your return, you extend Your hand and move it slowly around the circle, in either direction, while people “will” you to stop at the chosen object. Sometimes you may get a quick impression, but it is better to keep circling awhile in case it changes.
Often, the best process is elimination. You may find a pull toward one portion of the circle, indicating that the “wanted” item is in that area. So pause and remove the objects elsewhere, stating that none of them is the chosen one. If you are right, spread the circle somewhat, and continue, eliminating other objects as they become “Cold.”
When you have narrowed it down to two, keep moving back and forth until you have the right one.
