Zener cards have been made specifically for this purposes.
The pack of Zener cards contains 25 cards that consist of 5 cards of each symbol. The symbols are a Greek cross, a hollow square, a hollow circle, a three vertical waves a five pointed star. As part of the test, the cards are shuffled. The cards are then given to the person being tested and the person is required to determine which of the five designs the cards contain.
Outcomes of the test

If the subject scores 0-5, they are unlikely to have extra sensory perception.

And those who score 20+ out of 25, are believed to posses strong ESP and have telepathic abilities. The EAT test using Zener cards can be used to test for the existence of telepathic abilities.
