Hi sem, I read the book - a few times. I dowsed 'blind' -- that is to say, I assessed us each separately, with no prior knowledge or sense of 'values' or scales (inasmuch as I could not see what I was dowsing, and really have no vested interests in imagining anything one way or the other. I trust my results since I am totally open to knowing truth. I simply went through all the pages/labels without even seeing the numbers and what they translate to, until the whole thing was done. That's as close as I can envision coming to the blind/clear testing of Hawkins on which SEM is grounded. I feel confident about not slanting the results.
