I ask all those who wish to claim the prize based upon their dowsing skills to first try a double-blind test of their abilities. We at the JREF can advise you how to design such a test protocol. You will find, I assure you, that the description above of the ideomotor effect will be proven valid.

Hi Qiaozhi,
I can see the reference you provided is for those who wish to claim the JREF prize based on their dowsing skills. I do not wish to claim the JREF prize based on my dowsing skills. I am not performing tests to satisfy Randi, nor do I have any dowsing skills that I know of.
The reason I asked you for a specific test protocol is so I can perform a test that will satisfy you.
You are the first person who told me a double blind test is the only way the Examiner can be tested.
I am ready to perform your test regardless of whether I believe there are other ways it can be tested or not.
All I need to know is the exact test protocol you require to satisfy you that the test was performed to your specifications, and to know exactly what attribute of the Examiner your test protocol is designed to test.
I am sure you are aware there are thousands of kinds of double blind tests that could be arranged to test an Examiner, each designed to test a different attribute of the Examiner. There is no possible way I can test the attribute you want tested, or set up the test protocol to conduct the test you have in mind unless you tell me what they are.
Are you able to provide instructions that I can use to arrange the specific test protocol you want, and provide a description of what attribute of the Examiner your protocol is designed to test?
Best wishes,
J_P
