Tomorrow, NT Times bestselling author Iris Johansen GuestBlogs. She's got wicked loads of fans of her romantic suspenses. And today at "Romance: B(u)y the Book," you can read the Exclusive Internet Debut of a diary written by Megan, the heroine of Johansen's upcoming novel, "Pandora's Daughter." (St. Martin's Press).

Now, I have zilch in the psychic powers area. And I've never even been able to get an Oija board to make a scratchy noise, let alone scry my future. But I'm greeeeen with envy over folks who have special psychic powers, or who've had mysterious experiences in their lives. (Iris is gonna ask you to share yours tomorrow)!

In the mean time, howza bout we take this quiz that answers the question, "Do You Have Psychic Potential?" Special thanks to the folks at St. Martin's for passing this our way.

Thanks Kate! ____ I found a test and took it. I'm a INFJ type. After reading the descript, I would say that pretty much sums me up. So much so, it's spooky. Who designs these things anyways?? {shivers}
Juliek, mine stands for Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging (INFJ). It's a category in the Myers Briggs personality test-the tests most businesses use when you apply for a job, and a well-respected 50 yr old method of looking at personality types. Google it-you'll probably find the test on the internet somewhere!
Can ya'll help a girl out? ____ What are these letters that you are referring to? I get that it's part of a personality test but what's it stand for?
I'm late to the party. And I'm keeping my day job too. ___ I'm an ISFJ. 6% of the population has that personality type. And in my RWA group, I am THE ONLY "S" in the group. THE. ONLY. Makes a girl feel a little "different." ;-) --Marilyn
Jules, now why would you say that! *evil grin* Monica
Jules, now why would you say that! *evil grin* Monica
KateP!!! Wow!! We're in 2% group! Cool! Being an INFJ is not easy though. That J part kicks my butt every time. *sigh* monica
Monica-- I just knew you'd score off the charts on this quiz. =o)
Oh KEWL!!! What a neat quiz...I scored a 90. But don't go asking me for the lottery numbers. It don't work that way. *grin* I have on the other hand bought three houses using my intuition. I think everyone has the ability I just think some of us are more open to it than others. Monica
LOL, Stace! Thanks...I think. =p
I got my copy of NS’s “An Enchanted Season” today. Yup this week keeps getting better and better.
I am a seventy, but I believe in a lot of things. And I could think I thought someone was going to do something and they were giving clues all over the place. So who knows. Maybe I'm just romantic (wait, I write romances, so ha! and paranormal ones, so it's a gimme). Reading at stoplights is better than texting at stop lights.

Jules, I think you can sell whatever kinda favors you want, and to whomever you want ;)____MK, the gala sounds all posh and ritzy - good luck with everything. Can't wait to hear the deets.____And you found Cam's story???? I've been to the bs twice in the last 2 days and nada. So unfair. Oh well, gives me more time to savor V, and that is exactly what I am going to do, at least twice.
YAY, MK!!!! Keep it in your purse and take it everywhere with you. You never know when you may have some down time. =o)
Bwahahahaha! I scored Mine 'Til Midnight today at Borders. The only bad thing is I have this stupid Gala which is TOTALLY going to impinge on my reading time. Humph.____Oh well. Longer to savor, right?
I wouldn’t say reading at stop lights is a bad thing per say (since I’ve done it), but it does distract one and then not all of your attention is on the road.____ I'm just glad to find out I'm not the only who's done this ;o)
WooHoo, Kate! _____ Is reading at stop lights a bad thing??
70 points-but I also did the Myers Briggs personality test a while ago (I'm a INFJ only 2% of people are) and that was one of the things my personality type had the ability to do! Glad to see it confirmed-have definitely been around a few ghosts in my time and had weird feelings in certain buildings. Kate Pearce
Oh, no! I got a 22! See? I've got no powers. I had to hesitate on number 4. My husband always says I think I know what he's thinking all the time, but I always get it wrong. So I had to answer no to that.______Belle, glad you're looking forward to Iris!_________MaryKate! You're going to be fab! Wowza; 25k a table. I'll bet you've got a sweet ensemble for the event...and great shoes? You could have shared a description. :)___________Belle, you still scored higher than I did. _______leeann! 41 chapters i a day. Good advice from the co-worker. I tried to think whether I'd ever read at stop lights, and I remembered I had. I'm gonna try the "lock it in the trunk" method next time.
I like the way that sounds, Belle. The Chosen get to hang with the BDB. I'm good with that. =o) ______ Of course, mine actually reads, my mind is a wonderland. Which means I hang with the time panicked bunnies and the Mad Hatter.
