16.4. CARD READING TESTS
************************
In early telepathic tests, playing cards were used, with the receiver calling their names as the sender looked at them. Some very phenomenal scores were recorded with highly “sensitive” receivers. One reputedly hit 202 correct cards out of a total of 382 trials, though by the law of averages (1 out of 52) only 7 or 8 correct calls should have been made.
Such tests generally proved unsatisfactory for two reasons: Even a “good” score, say 6 out of 52, could be somewhat discouraging; and the similarity between certain cards, say the six, seven, and eight of diamonds, made it difficult to visualize a card exactly.
