Like I said, there is a fine line between gold fever and skepticism. You have to learn to let the rod work without trying to interfere with your mind or your body. Some people might do better with two hands or stabilizing the elbow or forearm with the opposite hand so your arm is somewhat relaxed. Or maybe just support your elbow with you hip. And remember to keep your arm and upper body all as one unit, don't try to freehand it. Go slow, some say move the rod tip three inches per second, no more. Be smooth, don't let the rod bounce more than about a quarter inch. This isn't easy to do and still stay relaxed and not fixate on it.

Holy Molly... Mike, you are making it sound like the Examiner is powered by the error-prone ideomotor effect;
intense concentration
skepticism
interfere with your mind or body
stabilizing the elbow
support your elbow
Isn't the whole intent of the Examiner that it contains special inductive circuitry and special key-codes entered into the calculator for discrimination properties? That way, it works without the need for an ideomotor effect, and works regardless of what the operator is concentrating on, is left-handed, they are skeptical, or any of those other things you mentioned above?
If J_P needs to be informed about all the stuff you mentioned above (in order to insure success), I suppose those same admonishments are in the Manual of Operation, and he will read them there. If he does not find them in the Manual, I guess he really needn't concern himself with them.
Unless of course..... the Examiner he is testing is just another dowsing contraption.
