Esper rating

An esper rating is a measure of a person's psionic potential. A higher esper rating means that they are more capable of feats of the mind, such as fortune telling or telekinesis. No humans have ever verifiably had esper ratings high enough to actually achieve these feats.

In The Ur-Quan Masters, Commander Hayes mentions esper ratings at least twice in the game. One time is when the Kohr-ah are allowed to win the Doctrinal Conflict. He says that crew members with high esper ratings got a feeling tht something very wrong had happened. A second time he mentions it is when you bring in the Taalo Shield in for study. He claims that whenever you put a charge anywhere through the shield, all crewmen with high esper ratings get a bad headache, and "all psionic activity is flatlined."
