There are others, but they're quite rare, especially in the Earth-human genome. The vast, vast majority of Earther psionics are telepaths. A small minority are telekinetics, but in humans of Earth stock this talent is almost impossible to control and is generally accompanied by insanity. A vanishingly small minority are anodynes (psionic healers). These are the rarest types of Earth-human psionics generally accepted to exist, and are very much sought after by the Corps.

There are rumors of other "gifts", such as pyrokinesis, but to date the Corps has not (publicly) identified any. Certainly pyrokinetics exist in the galaxy as a whole, but not many and none so far from Earth stock.

Precognition and postcognition are, for the most part, dismissed by the Corps hierarchy as superstition.
