What are Zener Cards?
Zener cards were invented by Dr. J. B. Rhine, who is widely considered to be the “Father of Modern Parapsychology.” He named the cards after his research associate, Dr. Carl Zener. Rhine coined the phrase “extrasensory perception” (ESP) to describe the apparent ability some people have to acquire information without the use of their physical senses. The Zener deck was composed of 25 cards, with each card having one of five symbols- a cross, star, wavy lines, circle or a square. Under experimental conditions, Zener card psychic test subjects would attempt to guess these cards, using their psychic ability.
