Quick answer

Has scientific research tested numerology?

There has been at least one independent test. Jeremy Genovese (2017) examined the birth date numbers of 806 Nobel laureates from 1901 to 2010 and found the distribution did not differ from chance in any meaningful way. This study only tested one claim of numerology, on a particular group of people, not on numerology users in general.
