About Psychic Abilities

Modern science can’t verify the existence of psychic powers, but they’ve been tied with many cultures and religions throughout history and all across the world. Psychic abilities come in all sorts of varieties, but at their core, they’re simply a supernatural connection to some aspect of the world around us, whether that’s a mental connection with other people, a connection with spirits, or a connection with physical objects.

Some people say that everyone has at least a little psychic ability, and that it’s just a matter of finding yours and practicing it the same way you’d practice an instrument, or study for a test. With this quiz, we hope to help you feel out your potential abilities, learn what they are, and start training them.

Here are some common psychic abilities and how they manifest:

Astral projection. Astral projection is the ability to “cast” your mind or spirit out of your body, or to make a new spirit body for your consciousness to travel in, away from your physical body. People who can astral project often claim they can visit far-off places, or even hop between worlds or spiritual planes. You might have this ability if you’ve ever felt like your mind was someplace else, or that you were watching yourself from outside yourself.

Clairvoyance. Clairvoyance is the ability to know things without learning them in the traditional sense. Clairvoyants often receive information from the universe about things that are happening or will happen in the future. They also sometimes have the ability to sense an object or person’s history just by looking at, or sometimes touching, them.

Telepathy. Telepathy is the ability to send and receive thoughts or feelings, without actually saying anything out loud. Telepaths are sometimes called “mind readers,” but that isn’t always accurate. Most often, telepathy works like a sort of radio, with signals coming in and out. A telepath can also send their own signals, but it’s not guaranteed other people will receive them. New telepaths often say they can hear disembodied voices, or feel someone’s emotions just by looking at them.

Telekinesis. Telekinesis is the ability to interact with physical objects without touching them. Most often, it manifests as the ability to move objects with one’s mind, but it also manifests as a strong and sometimes emotional connection to the world around you. Telekinetics often report that electronics or mechanical devices tend to malfunction in their presence, sometimes as a result of their negative emotions.

Mediumship. Mediums are people with the ability to communicate with spirits. Spirits may be natural, non-human spirits, or the spirits of humans who have passed on from this life. Mediums communicate with spirits in many ways, like meditation, spirit tools like Ouija boards, or even other, stranger methods that the spirits themselves choose, like dreams or visitations. New mediums often feel physical sensations like disembodied touches or sudden chills, or glimpse people who are long dead.
