The percentage is quite low. I don't have specifics but consider this: the total number of research parapsychologists in the world number in the low hundreds. There are 150,000 members in the American Psychological Association alone. So the number you seek is well under .1 percent.
A very small percentage of psychologists are in the field of parapsychology, estimated to be less than 1%. Parapsychology is considered a fringe or pseudoscience by the mainstream psychological community, and most psychologists focus on more traditional areas of study and practice.

Approximately 2-7% of the UK population identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, according to various surveys and studies. It's important to note that sexual orientation can be fluid and people may not always disclose their identity, so these figures may not fully capture the true percentage.

No, parapsychology and psychology are not the same. Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, while parapsychology focuses on phenomena that lie outside the range of normal scientific understanding, such as extrasensory perception and telepathy.
It is debatable whether parapsychology is a valid area of scientific inquiry. So far, parapsychology has not been scientifically confirmed to be real, rather than just an elaborate and profitable series of scams, however, that does not in itself mean that no genuine incident of parapsychology will ever be discovered. Many valid fields of scientific research seemed rather implausible prior to being researched. However, it does not look good for parapsychology. I would not advise anyone to make it their specialty.
