a trick-taking aptitude test by Cardner and Alex Babakitis

In the 1930s, Duke University scientists Karl Zener, PhD, and J.B. Rhine, PhD, conducted a series of experiments to test subjects for extrasensory perception, also known as ESP. One of their most famous experiments involved a deck of cards designed by Zener: Rhine held up a card with the back facing the test subject and asked them to intuit the symbol on the face of the card.

This Experiment in Supersensory Perspicacity expands upon Zener and Rhine’s work. Instead of presenting individual cards, this clairvoyance aptitude test is enacted through a trick-taking game.
