Then do the DB test with a target(s) completely unknown to the operator.
Then do a Post-test, again using a valid target in plain sight and conducted as the Pre-test was done.
Does that seem reasonable? The attribute we are testing is to see if the Examiner will point towards a Gold item, and do it repeatedly so that a statistical calculation might be performed based on the number of Trials and the number of Hits, and the results would be considerably better than what one might expect from Chance Guessing.
Just my thoughts....  |
You have more or less described the procedure that was shown in the Randi youtube link, and I totally agree with this method.
Perhaps we can now look forward to some results on the long awaited RT testing.
