To "psychics," nothing succeeds like total failure.

My neighbor and I used to do this for a few years, she'd buy the supermarket tabloids with "psychic predictions" in them, and a year later, we'd look at how accurate they were.

We'd take out the really vague ones.
"A beloved TV, movie or music star will die suddenly."

Or the really obvious ones.
"There will be trouble in the Middle East."
(Like DUH...)

After that, their score in accuracy?
0%.
That's right, none, they never got any correct.

Even the "famous" Jeane Dixon "prediction" of Kennedy's murder was way off the mark.
She "predicted" that Nixon would win in 1960, that he would be killed in his second term, and that labor would be the big issue.

Oh, the psychics. Every year, many of them issue great predictions for the year to come, and – apart from the usual vague and ambiguous ones – each year they seem to do somewhat poorer than chance, presumably because the career options selects for poor reasoning and thinking skills. There’s a fine rundown on various psychic predictions for 2013 here. Entirely unsurprisingly, the psychics in question appear to be completely unfazed by the dismal performance of their predictions – to the extent that one sometimes get the feeling that they know that they are frauds and really don’t care as long as their bullshit continues to bring in support and sympathy from the gullible or desperate.
