3. One of the
following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. Dowsers can dispense with inanimate instruments if they train themselves to recognise involuntary muscle twitches of the back, face, eyelids, neck or arm muscles, or to "feel" a tickle or itch in the palm or finger, as it moves over the area of the body (or map etc) being searched.
b. "Physical" dowsing is much more accurate than "absent" dowsing.

d. The material used to make the Y stick, or pendulum, is irrelevant if the dowser believes it to be so
e. Each dowser must establish his/her "Yes", "No" and "Don't know" reaction with the instrument being used.
4. One of the
following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. Some dowsers use a "mental Y stick, or other instrument", i.e. they visualise what reaction the instrument would give to their specific question.

c. Psychic diagnosis can lead to the same conclusions as orthodox diagnosis.
d. In psychic diagnosis, the practitioner should have a good suspicion as to the cause before attempting to dowse for it.
e. Effective diagnostic dowsing uses a systematic search of all the systems and subsystems of the body

following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. In diagnostic dowsing, having found the location of the problems, their nature is questioned systematically, considering possibilities of: inflammation, poor microcirculation, degeneration, cancer, prolapsed disc etc etc.

c. When using psychic methods of diagnosis, it is most important to follow a systematic routine, to avoid omitting relevant (possible) locations, nature of disease, causes and predisposing factors. Haphazard searching gives poor results and incomplete information.
