dc.description.abstractUsing the Chinese book of divination, the I Ching, L. Storm and M. A. Thalbourne (1998-1999) tested 93 participants on 2 paranormal tasks: (a) the hexagram task (participants selected 16 descriptor-pairs Out of 64 according to the statement: "Lately, or right now, I feel..." [[P.sub.MCE] = .25]; participants then threw 3 coins 6 times to generate an outcome hexagram); and (b) the changing-lines task (participants try to throw 3-of-a-kind). In a 1999 study (N= 107), L. Storm and M. A. Thalbourne (2001) sought to replicate the significant effects in the 1998 study. Significant hitting on the hexagram task and a significant correlation between changing lines and answers to a paranormal belief question were replicated. In the present article, the authors performed further analyses to explain those nonsignificant results in the 1999 study. The 2 samples were combined where feasible. In the larger sample, there was (a) significant hitting, (b) a return to a significant transliminality-hitting correlation, (c) a return to 5 significant correlations between hitting and factors on Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), and (d) significant correlations between transliminality and 5 16PF factors. The paranormal effects were interpreted according to the theory of psychopraxia.
