Hi Double! I'm glad I'm not the only type A sort out here
I agree it's a very imperfect calculation for all the reasons both of us have mentioned. I think this is not a be-all, end-all, because I've had amazing, accurate readings from people not on this list, and have had average to bad readings from people who are -- though I will say that more often than not, this list has resulted in good readings for me. To me, it's more intended as a mechanism for helping sort the wheat from the chaff at a very basic level, separate from something more arbitrary like how expensive they are.
So practically speaking I take this list as a base and then go through the feedback looking for exactly the kinds of things you single out. If someone's feedback is full of reviews like "Thank you" or "I'm looking forward to your predictions," then I'm less likely to bother. When I look through feedback, I look for thoughtful replies that are more than a few words and ESPECIALLY ones that say that a prediction happened. Those get my attention.
Angelica is actually an outlier on my list. I typically make 8000 reviews a cutoff, but there was something in her feedback that prompted me to call anyway, and I had a good experience with her (predictions still outstanding).
Oh Luciana, I should have included her in this list. Similar - she is another one with about 5000 calls, so she's very borderline in terms of my metrics. But after having read with her I had a similar experience to yours. If I were to have included her in here, she'd be between Gina Rose and Elizabeth in terms of metrics.
I was thinking about posting this in a separate place, but since you asked here are my experiences with individuals on this list. (I have read with many people on CP at this point and am fortunate that my finances allow it without much trouble.)
pilar - I do think she has a psychic gift. She got a lot of details right. But she was not very adept with the names for me as she is for some people. She mentioned maybe 4 names and only one of them could I connect to in any personal way. Waiting for predictions, some of which seemed overly aggressive to me.
jean - She was very straightforward, but also kind. Also really hard to get ahold of, she reads mostly in early morning hours and had a tremendous queue whenever I tried to talk to her. Waiting on predictions.
angelica - Obvious gift, very in tune with current circumstances. Confident and kind. Waiting on predictions. She is secretly one of my favorites because she is so down to earth and just good energy.
nina - Without a doubt, the VERY MOST IMPRESSIVE psychic I have ever read with. I literally said nothing except my name and she knew exactly why I was calling and specific details about the situation. Usually I find people who try to "guess" about why I'm calling to be annoying because they are habitually wrong and I don't like my time wasted, but... I was honestly totally blown away by this reading, mouth agape, because all I said was my name and DOB and She. Just. Knew. Waiting on predictions, but even without any predictions coming to fruition she is among the handful of psychics I would recommend without hesitation. She has unpredictable availability and does not read much, so she is hard to get ahold of, but I would move mountains to speak with her.
uli - Totally wrong/off. I was calling about a woman and she started off before I could ask my question with seeing a "controlling man" around me (I was calling about a woman) and stuff about a "new job" (I've been in my job for 5 years and have no plans to move). I was so disappointed because she seemed just completely off for me.
aliza - Mixed feelings about her. She has a pretty unique way of reading that is compelling but it also seems sort of formulaic. I've read with her a couple times and no matter what it's always like 2-2.5 weeks before something happens. Waiting on predictions.
gina rose - VERY confident reader, very right about many aspects of personalities I called about. Straight shooter. I get the sense that she would have no trouble delivering bad news if that's what she saw, which I really respect. Waiting on predictions.
luciana - I really like Luciana. She is so kind, so generous. She really "gets" personalities, very good empath and has given me EXCELLENT advice for how to deal with people. She also -- and I give her MAJOR kudos for this -- is one of only a handful of people who have nailed a specific date for me. She absolutely did, and it wasn't some kind of easy tell like when someone would contact me, it was details and a date about a face to face meeting with someone long distance. Now, there are other dates that she didn't get right. But the one she did was really significant. She is a really bright reader and I count her among my favorites.
elizabeth - Have not read.
kelli - Her first reading with me was spot on. She got so much right in terms of personality traits and the interpersonal situation that I was calling about. Predictions are through the end of the year so it's hard to say on that. However ... my second call, after probably ~7 months since we had originally spoken, she remembered that my birthday was in September, and remembered the specific birthday and name of another person I had been talking to her about and ... I'm sorry I don't really believe that spirit just told her my birth month and another person's exactly birthday and name while we spoke, I think she probably takes notes but passes it off like spirit is telling her this stuff. I still think she has a gift, but the notes thing turned me off.
natasha - Good reading overall, though some questionable parts (I don't want children, and she claimed she saw two kids for me. NO THANKS.) Predictions outstanding.
Well it's late, I'll continue this tomorrow.
Thanks for answering, it's nice to have someone to compare notes with.
