From the author: Statistical evidence was sought that an anomalous effect might be involved in the ancient Chinese system of divination known as the I Ching. The I Ching user throws 3 coins 6 times, to generate 1 of 64 possible 6-line symbols (or hexagrams) and then consults the associated divinatory reading. Initial studies by Storm and Thalbourne (1998-1999, 2001a) suggest that first-hexagram outcomes can be determined in advance of generating the hexagram to a significant degree above MCE. In the present study, it was theorized that hexagram targeting accords with a person's time perspective. Individuals who have a present time perspective (PTP) focus on immediate events and those who have a future time perspective (FFP) focus on the future. Because intuitive types are said to be future-oriented, it was hypothesized that FTP-types are more intuitive than PTP-types. It was also hypothesized that predicted hexagram outcomes are above chance; there is a relationship between pro attitude and hexagram hitting; and intuition predicts hexagram outcomes. In a sample of mostly university students (N = 200), FTP-types were not more intuitive than PTP-types. Hit-rates were above chance on second-hexagram hitting only (not significantly). PTP-types did hit more often on first hexagrams (29%) compared to FTP-types (20%), whereas FTP-types did hit more often on second hexagrams (36%) compared to PTP-types (31%), but the differences were not significant. Intuition scores did not predict hexagram outcomes. Other significant effects were found.
