No, they could not, they do not fit any of the prescribed gifts, nor are they used for the glorification of God.
Actually they do fit the descriptions. There are many psychics who have the ability of xenoglossia(speaking in tongues) and a lot of then can do healing. You can find those who can do the gift called dicernment of spirit, prophecy and things that can be called miracles. All of these are gifts of the holy spirit which are described in the scriptures.
But there is a difference between common mediunity and something that really comes from the holy spirit. So I am not saying that all psychics have the gift of the holy spirit. But this is not something only told in the scriptures. You find that in hinduism and eastern traditions with a lot more detail. Actually they were the original source of this knowledge.

Prophet != psychic.Psychics allegedly are born with the talent. Prophets are given visions by God at the prescribed time, not through some mysterious ability.
Did you read the Prophet booklet?
You seem to know all about them...

How come God only chooses men to be profits ? Is it because women pms ?
Psychics may or may not exist, but I am highly skeptical of psychics who claim they can see into our future.
