You like babbling idiot?

I will say this again.

Paranormal Claim 2 is not a test to answer questions.

It is a mind reading test equivalent to a Zenner card test.

You can write 100 questions on 100 sheets of cardboard if you want,
hold the cardboard in front of you and I will mind read what card you are holding.

Isn't it worth a paranormal test to make a slight change to the Zenner card test
to change the symbols for something more interesting? 
Cue: MOTIVE OF SPIRITS considered to get mind reading to actually work!
