    Jesus - it's pretty close actually.

    Some things I'd disagree with, but more accurate than not.



    All the best,

    People tend to associate with descriptions like that positivly. There's even a word for it (which I can't remember) and it's why horrorscopes appear to work.

    Standard explanation to this.
    Did you do it ?

    Blitz is correct - It's called cold prediction (like cold calling). It's a technique that phone pyshics use to predict someones future that they don't know anything about them beforehand.

    There was a big documentry on it on TV a good while back.

    I did it, and all I got was positive feedback and the chance to be spammed to death.

    pretty much gave me the ideal person id like to be with a completly exaggerated personality that could very well be me if i tripled the size of my ego.

    i wouldnt agree with it though as an accurate description. not by a long shot.

    Kali, what percentage accurate/inaccurate objectively?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,601 ✭✭✭Kali


    About 20-40% in parts I'd say.
    Like i said it seems to me to be idealised (sp?) and generalised to suit a wide range of people, so accurate wouldnt be a term I'd use.

    How did u test it? Im interested in the logic of it. Try loads of differnt dates and stuff? Like did u put in the right hour of birth etc. Then change the month. Can you give me details?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭Paladin


    Utter ****e for me definately. Far too unrealistic. Everyone wants to , and probably does, think of themselves in a positive way so telling them what they want to hear isnt difficult.

    In this case its pants.

    lad Baz. I was waiting for the moronic answer from someone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭Baz_


    tis though, the lads explained it better above cold reading and all, I just summarised, and answered the topics title question. Sorry if you don't agree, well I'm not really.

    lad Baz. I was waiting for the moronic answer from someone.

    Thats not moronic at all, but a very succise view of the site , i happen to share that view, only highly suggestible or lowly intelligent people would think that site has any worth
