Test Bank

Howdy, all,

Quick question (and pardon me if this is posted a thousand times elsewhere; I am lazy): is there anywhere on this site, or any other site, with a collection or database of double-blind testing procedures for common claims? A protocol collection, if you will. I often think about ways I'd write protocol to test out claims, and I have read Flim Flam! and marvelled at the details of the dowsing test, and I'd like to read more.

If there is not such a collection, I would be more than willing to colate & host something like that...

Sincerely,

Often in the challenge thread Kramer talks about a protocol that would be used for a preliminary test. You could look in those.
