Want to be psychic? There’s an app for that…

FYI: This message is from me, Melinda, and is not channeled.

I was perusing one of my favorite web sites, The Daily Grail, and came across this blog post about a new app for the iPhone where you can practice your psychic abilities. I had to post about it here because it’s just funny. I was joking with a friend of mine the other day about making an app for psychic or spiritual work and using the punchline, “There’s an app for that.” I don’t know. Maybe you had to be there.

Anyway, here’s the link to the article so you can read more about the app. Check out The Daily Grail if you want to read some interesting news articles about science and the paranormal and different stuff.

So, I downloaded the new app to my iPhone and gave it a few tries. Basically, you have to tune into your intuition and predict which color has the picture behind it. A color is randomly chosen each time by the app and you get 24 tries to predict correctly. They say to send them an email if you consistently hit 12 out of 24 correctly. Well, I wish I had better news for you all about my success. The best I did was 8 out of 24. I only tried it 3 times and I did the best on it when I wrote down my answers and then entered them into the phone which I thought was interesting. I’d love to know how you guys do. Anyone want to try it? Post your results here.

I’m not convinced that this is a true test of psychic ability–no–not by a long shot (and that’s not just because I didn’t do that well–ha ha!). Would you rather a psychic be able to tune into you and your situation or tune into an iPhone app? But it is still fun and if you see me and I’m crazily tapping at my iPhone practicing on getting better at it, don’t tell anyone, OK?

    Hilarious, thanks for sharing. I will definitely try it out while traveling this weekend and let you know how I do. I tend NOT to do well in these kinds of things, but of course do consider myself intuitive and basically live my entire life based on my intuitions. So it is always kind of funny to me, what other people think of as ‘intuition.’ Interesting idea, though.

    Yeah–try it out and have your kids try it too. Lots of fun. My son scored 7 pretty consistently and I thought that was pretty good. Now, I want to go see if they have any other apps like this one. I’ve never looked. ;>)
