The first and third segments of a mail-in precognition test involving over 100,000 adolescent Ss used standard ESP targets while the second and fourth segments used words as targets. 50 male and 50 female protocols with high scores on the first segment and low scores on the second segment were used in the pilot study, there being twice as many of each sex for the replication. Both pilot and replicating studies showed significantly higher scoring on the fourth segment than on the third.
