Did you not read the abstract.
Quote:In several experiments perceptual defensiveness as measured by the Defense Mechanism Test (DMT) has been found a useful tool to predict performance in extrasensory perception (ESP) tasks. Subjects with weak perceptual defensiveness have tended to obtain more hits in ESP tests than did subjects with strong defenses. Ten double-blind experiments involving a total of 462 subjects were conducted to test the replicability of the DMT-ESP relationship. Results of 2 of the experiments were independently significant. Meta-analysis of the 10 experiments yielded a significant relationship (z = 2.61, P = 0.0045). Meta-analysis of all 16 DMT-ESP experiments conducted so far revealed highly significant results (z = 3.87, P = 0.00006).
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
