Psychic gifts cannot be explained by science, but they are spiritual or parapsychological. But what if biology supported the psychic phenomena? Research explains that certain psychic gifts such as clairvoyance, clairaudience and the other clair gifts are an experience. This could be an image that you see that is strong enough to make it a clairvoyant situation. Or it could be telling someone their future and it coming true.
Of course, psychic gifts are not universally believed and even if a person is very accurate, this is hard to prove because it is hard to prove the past and the future and even the present sometimes can be hard.
Measuring Psychic Gifts
Science has agreed that psychic gifts are not measurable because it isn’t science and it is never exact. Psychic gifts are questioned, and people often wonder if psychics are real at all. Science is not willing to look at what psychic gifts are, and they often believe that the person is guessing and is good at guessing what might happen.
There are tests that you see online that measure if you’re a psychic or not. These questions might have someone guessing the shape or the color that is under the card. If one of the people guesses this right enough times, it will indicate that the person is probably psychic.
Many psychics aren’t able to score high on these tests because the results are not really what psychics do. But the same psychics will often do a reading for their clients and are great at being able to talk about the clients situation to a tee and to have very close accuracy to what is going on. Their gifts might include hearing voices or conversations or feeling the clients energies. So why are they good at doing that but not able to take a test and get the shape or color correct?
Maybe We’ve Been Looking in the Wrong Direction
Trying to prove psychic ability by guessing shapes on a card might be missing the point. Those kinds of tests might show something, but they only scratch the surface, and they mostly focus on one narrow type of psychic ability: predicting something random. But being psychic isn’t just about predicting things. It’s about sensing things, past, present, or future, that most people wouldn’t pick up on.
The truth is, not every psychic is a fortune teller. In fact, a lot of what’s considered “psychic” has nothing to do with seeing the future at all. It’s more about tuning into energy and information that’s already present but hidden to the average eye. Some psychics can tell you about health issues without being told a single symptom. Others can describe a person’s emotional state, life experiences, or even communicate messages from loved ones who’ve passed on—all without any background knowledge.
Maybe the problem isn’t that psychic ability doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s that we’ve been defining it too narrowly to even study it properly.
Could It Be Instinct, Not Magic?
We call it psychic, but what if it’s just instinct? A part of us that used to be more active—like an old survival tool we don’t use as much anymore. It’s not hard to imagine that some people might be more tuned into this instinctual sense than others. After all, animals rely on it constantly to survive. They know when danger is near. They know when it’s time to move or when to protect their young. No one questions that.
It’s possible that humans once had this same heightened instinct before language, before smartphones, before we built a world that no longer required us to trust our gut. But that sense might not be completely gone. Maybe it just shows up now in unexpected ways. Maybe those flashes of knowing, those “unexplainable” insights, are really just echoes of something our ancestors used daily.
Think about it:
• “Will I marry John?” might really be, “Is this person a good match for survival and reproduction?”
• “Will I get the job?” becomes, “Will this path provide security and opportunity?”
• “Where are my keys?” might even tap into old scavenging instincts, seeking what was lost in our environment.
It’s Not Evolving but It Might Be Fading
A lot of people think psychic ability is some kind of futuristic superpower. But what if it’s the opposite? What if it’s actually something we’re losing? Like a fading skill. A trait that was once common but now only shows up in a few people here and there. As we lean more and more on tech and logic, the natural instincts that used to guide us could be slipping away.
So maybe science isn’t wrong, it just might be asking the wrong questions.
When scientists try to measure psychic ability, they often focus on predicting future events. But if that’s only one piece of the puzzle, then we’re ignoring the rest of the picture. What about the people who can describe your childhood, or the scar on your leg, or the feeling you had the night your grandmother passed away? These aren’t guesses. These are specific, emotionally resonant details—ones that can’t be explained away so easily.
Is It All About the Money?
It’s hard not to wonder if the lack of research into these other psychic traits has more to do with funding than curiosity. Prophecy and prediction get attention because they feel dramatic or profitable. But the quiet, intimate abilities like sensing illness, channeling messages from the deceased, or recognizing emotional trauma, don’t get the spotlight, even though they may be more common.
There’s no telling what we could discover if we widened the lens a bit. If we stopped treating psychic ability like a magic trick to be proven or debunked and started treating it like a part of human nature we don’t fully understand yet.
Final Thoughts
What if the reason psychic ability seems so hard to measure is because we’ve been looking at it all wrong? What if the real story is buried deep in our biology, our instincts, and our past? Maybe it’s not about predicting the future at all but about remembering how to tune into a sense that’s been with us all along.
The good news? It’s not too late to start asking better questions.
The real mystery might not be whether psychic ability exists but whether we’ve lost touch with something we once knew by heart.
