Greg Kolodziejzyk's 13-Year Associative Remote Viewing Experiment Results
📄 Original study ↗📌 Appears in:
Plain English Summary
One person spent thirteen years trying to predict financial markets using psychic impressions -- then bet real money on the results. Across nearly 5,700 trials, his accuracy sat modestly above chance, but when he filtered for only his most confident predictions, it jumped to a stunning 78%. He made 181 real trades and walked away with over $146,000 in profit. Later rounds used an automated system so he couldn't unconsciously bias his bets. Most striking: his performance held steady across all thirteen years with no sign of fading.
Actual Paper Abstract
This paper presents results from a 13-year experiment using a unique approach to the associative remote viewing (ARV) protocol which allows a single operator to conduct the full ARV process beginning to end. A total of 5,677 ARV trials were conducted from May 11, 1998, to September 26, 2011. Of these, 52.65 % were correct in predicting the outcome of their respective future events (where only 50% would be expected by chance), yielding a statistically significant score of z = 4.0. These 5,677 trials addressed a total of 285 project questions. Most of these project questions were intended to predict the outcome of a given futures market. Of these project questions, 60.3% were answered correctly, resulting in a statistically significant z = 3.49. By increasing the number of trials in a project question, and giving more weight to higher subjective confidence scores reflecting the quality of the match between the remote viewing and one of the two target images, the success rate increased to above 70%. One hundred eighty-one project questions resulted in actual futures trades where capital was risked. Of these, 60% of the trades were profitable, amounting to approximately $146,587.30.

Research Notes
Longest ARV study on record. Demonstrates practical financial application of RV with real monetary stakes. Modified consensus protocol with confidence weighting is methodological innovation. Self-judging limitation. Connects to SRI/SAIC RV program and Harary/Targ silver futures studies. Automated trading system (2010+) reduces operator bias.
Thirteen-year single-operator ARV study (1998–2011): 5,677 trials across 285 project questions, primarily futures market predictions. Modified protocol: self-judging with confidence scores (0.1–4.0), computer-managed randomization, consensus from nested trials. Results: 52.65% trial accuracy (z=4.0, p < 0.00003); 60.3% project questions correct (z=3.49); confidence filtering (>3.25) achieved 78.1% accuracy. Automated trading (2010+) blinded operator to market identity. 181 trades with capital at risk: 60% profitable, $146,587 net profit. Cumulative z-score steady over 13 years without decline.
