There are some beliefs that "everyone" possess one or more paranormal gift(s). Whether you are a believer of the paranormal or not, you still possess a paranormal gift. What that gift is ... for you to determine. Example, One of the most common paranormal gift is - Intuition (an inner thought process when something is not right; a feeling of uneasiness or self-assuredness).
Most people are "unaware" that they have a gift. Those that are "aware", usually have an idea of what their gift is. Awareness is the first step in recognizing a gift. Believing in "yourself" and your gift is the second step. Practicing your gift is the third step.
You probably already have an idea of what may be your paranormal gift. As mentioned above, Intuition is the most common gift, and everyone has that. In most cases, it is ignored or not acted upon, and the end result is often unpleasant. Intuition, by the way, is considered as a 6th sense - paranormal (beyond normal). Normal being ... feel, taste, smell, see and hear (the 5 senses).
For starters, concentrate on your Intuition. Be aware of it, believe in it and finally, practice/act upon what your intuition is telling you. If you have other paranormal gifts, your intuition will be your indicator. This is the awareness phase. When you act upon your intuition - this is the belief phase. And when you practice what you believe - you are now in the third phase. The saying goes... "Practice makes perfect" - makes alot of sense.
Religion is a very good example of paranormal. It does not have any direct connection with any of the 5 senses and yet, over 90 percent of the world's population ... are aware of a supreme being, believes that the supreme being exists and therefore, actively practice their chosen religion. Occults and similar other forms also fall into the category of religion.
Lastly, there are numerous internet sites out there that do contain some form of test, however, the only test that really matters is "you, yourself".
