Psi Scale

From The Babylon Project

The Psi Scale is used to rate the strength of a Telepath's abilities.

[edit] Psi Rating

NOTE: Psi Cops are marked with a 'Ψ', Blips with a 'β'.

Psi Rating	Description	Known Individuals
P1	Lowest rating on the Psi Scale, barely registers as telepathic. Abilities rarely extend beyond detecting and blocking low level scans. Psi Corps P1's were mostly limited to low level administration or medical duties. [1]	Susan Ivanova (presumed)
P2	Very low rating on the Psi Scale. Psi Corps P2's were mostly limited to low level administration or medical duties. [1]
P3	Very low rating on the Psi Scale.
P4	Low rating on the Psi Scale.
P5	Low level Psi rating, most common among commercial telepaths. Psi Corps P5's working with the Psi Cops are mostly limited to doing background interviews, though they can be trained in search and recover, but are limited by proximity. [2][3]	Lyta Alexander β (original rating) Natasha Alexander Talia Winters (original rating)
P6	Mid level Psi rating, common among commercial telepaths. Sometimes specialising in criminal cases.	John Matheson
P7	Mid level Psi rating.	Justin Ackerman
P8	Mid level Psi rating. A trained P8 can easily avoid capture by normals by implanting false or misleading thoughts or simply making a person look the other way. [4]	Stephen Walters
P9	High level Psi rating. P9's have the ability to sense electronic surveillance.[5]
P10	High level Psi rating. All Psi Corps instructors were rated P10. Known to be proficient at blocking scans and cutting through other telepath's defenses. [6][4]	Brenna Alexander Alisa Beldon (Strong P10) Harriman Gray Jonathan Harris β (Strong P10) Jason Ironheart β (original rating)
P11	Very high level Psi rating. Usually Psi Corps Administrators or senior instructors.	Carolyn Sanderson β (Strong P11, possible P12.) Unnamed Blip β
P12	Highest conventional telepath on the Psi Scale. All P12s that joined the Psi Corps were automatically assigned to the Psi Cops. A trained P12 is able to detect a ship in Hyperspace by focusing in on the thought waves of the passengers and crew. This is possible over a considerable distance as hyperspace is known to amplify telepathic signals.[7][8]	Alison β Lauren Ashley Alfred Bester Ψ Bruder Ψ Byron Gordon Ψβ Fiona Dexter β Matthew Dexter β Jonathan Harrisβ ("dark man") Chen Hikaru "Mr Jones" Kelsey Ψ
P13	Not a rating on the scale per se, as much as a label applied to those who display abilities "off the charts", usually through direct artificial manipulation.	Lyta Alexander β (adjusted) Jason Ironheart β (adjusted)
