still not sure if it was related but in elementary school in the 90s I was put in a "gifted" program which involved, on at least one occasion, wearing headphones in a dimly-lit room and being tested with Zener cards. I've dug into local records and still to this day don't conclusively know what that was all about.
- saalweachter 3y agoI've always wanted to pull out some Zener cards in the middle of a programming interview. If a candidate is psychic, wouldn't that be good to know?
- meindnoch 3y agoActually... It can be a good trait for a candidate to call out obvious bullshit - for which a Zener-test is the perfect meta-test!
- saalweachter 3y agoIt also gives candidates a good story even if they don't get hired.
- the_sleaze9 3y agoAmateur level. You need to testing for Larges, not Mediums.
- phonescreen_man 3y agoBah bum hahaha thank you
- CRConrad 3y agoObGroan: Guh-rrrooaannn!
- tomcam 3y agoSame. I'd forgotten about it. For me this happened around 1970.
- meindnoch 3y agoThat was the first test. Those who responded went on to the next level, which is goat staring.

- willismichael 3y agoThere's no way that would work. Any security camera that you can set up is already back-doored.
- smegger001 3y agoonly if its networked.
- CRConrad 3y agoNaah. It's built-in at the camera factory.
- throw74775 3y agoFor this kind of thing, an old closed circuit analog camera with VHS tapes is best.
- Spooky23 3y agoWere you in NYC by chance?
- adamrezich 3y agonope—SD. but the phenomenon has been reported all over the country, as I've come to find out.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoWas it part of an entry test for one of those 'genius' programs?
- varelse 3y ago[dead]
- nemo1618 3y agoI've seen these programs discussed on 4chan and reddit -- try "GATE conspiracy"
- adamrezich 3y agoI've seen those threads too, years after I made the connection myself (by playing The World Ends With You and seeing the Zener card symbols on the top screen, before I knew what they were). some of the things listed there apply to my experience, and others don't. the whole thing leaves me with more questions than answers.
