Please do not reveal the answers yet. Also, please take note of what MTV has said in post #1452. They are very valid points to note: who sets the standard, and, also, are the descriptions of the subject exhaustive? This is not a matter of "setting standards" by me. This is based on a test of long ago of a very famous astrologer in the Netherlands, Leo Knegt. He was asked by a lawyer (P.C.van Rossem) to participate in a blind test of ten people. So he was given only their dates and gender and nothing else. He passed the test with flying colours: 10 out of 10 correct descriptions. Sometimes those descriptions were extremely spot-on! What I have done is taking out five of them, using the most saliant desriptions of those persons, and then ask present-day astrologers to match those descriptions with five birth data. Because if one astrologer could do this with ten, then others should be able to do it with five. Easier still: Leo Knegt was not given any detail of their lives, but current-day astrologers ARE given important details about lives and character! These affect the objectivity of such test. This test is as objective as it can be. Tell this to your friends, Paulo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
