Abstract

Associative Remote Viewing (ARV) is a psi-based methodology used by

individuals and for-profit organizations to predict such things as sportingevent

outcomes, stock market moves, and for research purposes. Documented

studies have shown the successful application of psi using ARV to predict

future events, leading to profits, and unsuccessful applications, leading to

losses. To better understand the contributing factors, 86 completed ARV trials,

which included 220 remote viewing transcripts for individual sporting or

financial events, were collected. Three teams of judges operating under blind

conditions — some working independently, some working as teams — repeated

the process of judging, scoring, and predicting, while keeping all other

variables stable. To gauge inter-rater reliability, the new scores and predictions

were compared to the original scores and predictions, as well as to each other.

Rating variance was clearly demonstrated. Judges were in 100% agreement in

only six (6.9%) of 86 trials. In seventeen trials (19.7%), eight of nine judges

agreed with each other. Original judges did better than all new judges, and

judges with more experience obtained statistically significant higher hit rates

than less experienced judges. The results were virtually the same for the two

ranking scales used. This project points to a variety of factors in need of

further testing, both in future ARV projects and in parapsychology projects

that involve independent judging of tasks and photosets.
