In regard to the (FRS) and (MMPI), both of these sets of questions are included because they can assist the clinician in identifying abnormal factors, and these questions have been slightly altered in a manner that negates veridical clairvoyant phenomenology. In addition, the measure includes (17) questions that pertain to veridical clairvoyant phenomena that are labeled as signs of \u201cPossible Clairvoyance\u201d (PC). In private practice, the measure has yielded consistent results and validity. However, further testing of this measure\u2019s reliability and validity are required.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Clairvoyant Experiences Differential Interview &#8211; (CEDI)<\/b><\/h2>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#efefef\" width=\"642\">\n<ol>\n<li>Do you ever feel your thoughts are being broadcasted or transmitted, so that even strangers know exactly what you are thinking?

Any questions answered \u201cyes\u201d or that receives a rating of slight (i.e. 1) or greater from the FRS, MMPI, DES, or question number (7) serves as an indication of psychotic features or the presence of experience intensity exaggeration (i.e. vivid quality vs. faint or fragmented quality). Any PC questions answered \u201cyes\u201d should be viewed as the possible sign of veridical clairvoyant experiences and not as psychotic symptoms. However, any PC questions answered \u201cyes\u201d in conjunction with questions answered \u201cyes\u201d from the FRS, MMPI, DES, or question number (7) should be dismissed, at least until treatment has completely resolved psychotic symptoms, if applicable (i.e. acute psychosis).
