Take on the ClearerThinking study?
I’m a Hellenistic astrologer, and I came across that ClearerThinking test where 12 people described their lives and 152 astrologers had to take a 12 question multiple choice test to match each chart to its owner. They did very poorly, and the results said that no level of astrological expertise demonstrated better odds than somebody guessing.
I already have an issue with the premise of the study from the jump. Who were these astrologers? Where were they selected from? On top of that, as traditional practitioners, we constantly have to remind clients they’re not omniscient and their charts will include many aspects of their live that they are wrong (or at least oblivious) about. So basing a study on a native’s own recollection of their life and personality is already a shaky foundation to build on.
But just so I know that I’m not being nitpicky, I wanted to here your takes on the study. Will you proceed with conviction in your craft despite its results, and why?
