      I don’t think there would be a way to properly find out unless you perform a DNA test.

      I have a twin sister and sometimes we think and say the same things at the same time. It happened when I saw her yesterday. I think this might just be because we grew up together rather than a special twin mind reading power though.

      I also have a twin sister; sadly we appear to have no telepathic powers. I’m not sure you could ever prove it, because, for example, my sister and I have different DNA, so, although you could prove that we are siblings, I don’t know if you could prove from that that we are twins. So you would have to have absolute proof that you were not only related to that person, but that you were also born at the same time.
