- This extraordinary survey has evolved to its present
state from its beginning in 1967 as an effort by Brad Steiger to form a
pattern profile of paranormally-talented individuals.
-
- In 1968, Steiger developed the questionnaire further,
and it became associated with the worldwide phenomenon known as 'The Star
People.' In 1987, he combined elements from the research of Sherry Hansen,
who had developed a similar questionnaire in 1970 as a counselor at the
State University of New York at Stoneybrook. Both Steiger and Hansen found
that their interviewees were often the 'helpers' here on Earth, and they
found such individuals in all ethnic groups, all social strata, all occupations
and professions.
-
- The number of respondents to the questionnaire now number
over 40,000, from nearly every part of the globe. Here is the current update
[April 2005]. (Note - The questionaire is available elsewhere on this page.)
