quality control for psychic readings

[OstapBender]

Wouldnt it be great if there would be a sort of organization to test psychics who are offering their services at a commercial basis? If the psychic passes the test he or she is allowed to call herself "qualified psychic" or so. It shouldnt be very hard to do to get a test group of, say, 5-10 people who can then report if the reading was correct and if the psychic has prove his/her abilities.

This should be great for both the psychics as they have the possibility to qualify themselves and of course for their potential clients, who can then be sure that they will get a higher probability to get value for their money.

Also this would allow to bring more seriousness to the whole field and sort all kind of trickery and fraud out of the businness.

What do you think?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Theoretically a good idea.....But Psychic reading is not an exact science.
Can work great with some and fail with others despite the commitment.... So...When it doesn't work it doesn't necessarily mean that the psychic is a crook.....

Yes, that.

How can we (the customers) then differ a crook psychic from a real one in advance? If there are no ways to do that it is just a gamble to which one do I trust my money.

Or maybe one could start off by asking the psychic to tell the name/birthplace etc in advance, to know if he/she is real?

What needs to be verified may be more of one's own reality or awareness to oneself than that of testing the abilities of a psychic...if one's own intuition is already peaked/exercised, and attention is given to that intuition, it is quite simple to "know" whether another person will be able to assist or guide through appreciating one's own "inner voice". If there are concerns, acknowledge those concerns; there is no magic awakening that can originate out of another and transform into one's own enlightment; it must generate from one's self.
The initial comment regarded developing a credentialling sort for the psychics...the intent would be to create a system to recognize "qualified" indiviuals. Suppose I may be a bit jaded in this respect; wouldn't the individual [consumer] become more reliant on the opinions of others [credentialling sources] as to who is or is not qualified or certified; wouldn't the decision to challenge and exercise intuition, awareness and connection be evaporated in this process? The best and most suitable process in my opinion is to think for yourself, decide with your own self psychic what you want or do not want to hear, and more importantly just who you wish for that psychic to be.

Psychic sometimes do not pick up things all the time
I will let you in on a bit of information about myself, i used to work for a phone tarot company as a freelance psychic and tarot reader, out of the calls i was getting a day i could make a psychic connection with about 80% of the callers, the rest i couldn't connect with as soon as i picked up the phone if i couldn't make a psychic connection in 30 secounds i would appologise to the caller and tell them i could not connect to them, the company i worked for rang me up as they had listened to my calls and told me if i could not connect to a caller to just make up any stuff just to keep them on the phone, bv i refusf to do what they wanted so they told me i could not work for them any more, what i am trying to say is it would be very difficult to make a true psychic perform to ordf
