Zener Cards
The classic test of extrasensory perception, devised by J. B. Rhine and Karl Zener back in the 1930s: 5 symbols, 25 cards, and nothing but your intuition to guide you.
At each turn the app draws one of the five cards at random and keeps it hidden. Let go of reasoning, trust your instinct, and tap the symbol you sense lies face down. The result only becomes meaningful over the full 25 attempts: landing 5 hits is simply what chance predicts, whereas 8 or more begins to hint at extrasensory perception.
Which of these symbols do you think the card is hiding?

What is the Zener cards test
The Zener Cards are the classic extrasensory perception test (Rhine, 1930). You guess 25 cards bearing the 5 canonical symbols — circle, plus, waves, square and star — and find out where you rank, from Prophet to Refractory.
Just focus and guess each card as it comes: the app scores your hits at once. It's free, with no sign-up, and offered for entertainment and self-reflection.
