The SPIRIT Alliance and the COPE Project

I got the same answer as you guys, but for a different reason. Mind you, I think Chris' has the correct reasoning.

All of the individual elements make up groups that are symmetrical, except for big square and horizontal cross. If you put B in the missing space, then all groups of elements become symmetrical.

Thanks for this, Chris. I shared it with a friend, who gave it a go, but was screened out. She encouraged me to give it a go, and I was also screened out. I am not sure why either of us let alone both of us were screened out, because we seem to fit all of the criteria, but there you have it.

I also gave it a go, because I seemed to fit the criteria, and I was also screened out. But I received an email inviting me to participate in an additional survey a few days ago, after a review of my responses. Maybe make sure to check your inbox and/or junk folder for a follow-up invitation.

Yes, thanks. Both my friend and I recently received an email re-inviting us to participate - apparently in the original survey. My guess - and that's all that it is - is that they had a technical glitch that was screening out everybody, which they eventually realised. I haven't yet resumed the survey, but at your prompting, I might do that now. It's interesting that you mention that you fit the criteria too - I wouldn't have expected that, which goes to show how easy it is to form mistaken assumptions about others.

The COPE Project (Influence/Control Over Perceptual Experiences) is being run from the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University, with the aim of researching "those who hear, see, and feel things others can’t/don't," and in particular seeking understanding of how people can control these experiences and how new treatments can be developed "for those who need them." People who have had such experiences are being sought to take part in the study. There is an advisory committee (which they are calling the SPIRIT Alliance) drawn from quite a wide range of institutions, ranging from mental health and advocacy groups to parapsychologcal institutes such as the Rhine Research Center and the Windbridge Research Center:
