16.1.1. TEST NUMBER ONE: PICK THE OBJECT
****************************************
This is the simplest of tests. It should be performed in a fairly large room, where there are plenty of objects to pick from, all of a type belonging there, such as a lamp, a telephone, an ashtray, pack of cigarettes a few books and magazines some matches, a box of candy, and so on. A regular living room or a sun-porch makes a good setting.
The demonstrator leaves the room and the persons present decide upon the object that he is to pick. One of the group then acts as subject. The demonstrator is recalled, he grips the subject’s arm in whatever manner he prefers, and they start about the room together, until the demonstrator begins to “sense” certain objects until he finally decides on one and announces it to be the right one.
The demonstrator is allowed to pick up objects and reject them, but once he announces his choice it is final. Almost invariably, a capable demonstrator will pick the chosen object.
Beginners are apt to fail if they neglect the early stage of the test. An experienced demonstrator takes his time in going about the room, actually sensing some portions as “Hot” or “Cold.” If doubtful of any areas, he returns there, to see if the subject will mentally pull him away. Thus he finally settles on one small area and applies the “hot” and “cold” procedure to the objects there.
