What’s Your Psychic Type?

A few colleagues in a spiritual Facebook group recently recommended a fascinating book to me, and I’m glad they did.

It includes a simple yet insightful quiz designed to help you identify your psychic type. If you’ve ever been curious about your intuitive abilities, it’s absolutely worth exploring.

Your Psychic Type by Sherrie Dillard (available on Amazon).

The Four Psychic Types

According to the author, Sherrie Dillard, our intuitive gifts tend to align with four primary psychic types:

1. Emotional Intuitive
Deeply attuned to the emotional body or energetic field—both individual and collective. Emotional Intuitives easily sense others’ feelings, from joy to distress, and often share a special empathy with animals and other living beings.

2. Mental Intuitive
Naturally connects with structures, patterns, and logic. This includes numerology, astrology, and strategic thinking. Mental Intuitives excel at analysis and often display instinctive leadership and organizational abilities.

3. Physical Intuitive
Grounded through the body and the Earth. These individuals may feel drawn to crystals, sense others’ physical pain or illness, and connect deeply with planetary energies, Earth spirits, ancestors, and animals.

4. Spiritual Intuitive
Oriented toward the higher realms—able to connect with spiritual energies, the Higher Self, and aspects of the Soul. This type often includes an affinity for spiritual mediumship and direct communion with subtle energies.

Intuition and Psychic Type

Sherrie defines intuition beautifully:

“Intuition is the ability to understand or know something immediately and without conscious reasoning.”

As you read through these descriptions, you may find yourself resonating more strongly with one type—or perhaps several. That’s completely natural.

Many of us have one “home” type that feels most familiar, yet our intuitive expression can evolve.

My Psychic Type: The Physical Intuitive

For me, the Physical Intuitive was my starting point.

I’ve always been able to sense people’s energy through their bodies—sometimes even feeling the physical discomfort they’re carrying.

On occasion, I’ve absorbed someone’s pain and held it for a day or two before realizing it wasn’t mine. That’s something I’m still learning to clear.

My spiritual path actually began with crystals.

I couldn’t explain the fascination; it was simply there. Later, I began working successfully with dowsing, which deepened my connection to subtle energy fields.

Our Psychic Expression Evolves

I truly believe our most active psychic type can shift along with our life circumstances.

During my years as an IT consultant and trainer, I leaned heavily on my Mental Intuitive skills.

Understanding the mindset of software designers became second nature—I could almost think like them!

That ability to map someone’s mental structure helped me train others more effectively.

Then, when I became a parent, I transitioned into a new phase—developing my Emotional Intuitive abilities.

Parenting naturally opens the heart and heightens our empathy. Many parents will recognize how this intuitive attunement becomes essential on the parenting journey.

The Spiritual Intuitive and the Akashic Records

In more recent years, my work with the Akashic Records and the EMF Balancing Technique® has expanded my Spiritual Intuitive awareness.

This has enabled me to connect more deeply to my Higher Self, spiritual guidance, and to the collective field of consciousness.

My Results from Sherrie’s Quiz

After nearly two decades of spiritual study and practice, my quiz results came out fairly balanced across all four types. That felt like a confirmation of something an Akashic Records teacher once shared:

“Working within the Akashic Records naturally opens and strengthens your intuitive and psychic abilities.”

In Closing

Perhaps we each begin with one dominant psychic type, which is our “home frequency.”

Yet as we grow, heal, and evolve, all aspects of our intuition can awaken.

Developing our psychic awareness isn’t about becoming more than we are—it’s about remembering the fullness of what’s already within us.
