Thirty subjects who were susceptible to, but «»trained in, hypnosis, and 30 unsusceptible subjects were cast into waking motivated, hypnotized, and hypnotic simulator treatment groups in a 2 X 3 design. They were assessed on three tasks (Guilford's Consequences Test, Holtzman Inkblots, and a free association test) yielding nine measures of creative functioning. Eight out of nine measures showed significant superiority of susceptible over unsusceptible subjects, but there were few treatment effects. Additional analysis indicated that women tended to function more creatively on these tasks than men. In a comparison that must be regarded as suggestive only, 30 subjects who were susceptible and trained in hypnosis functioned more creatively on the Consequences Test than untrained susceptible subjects. In general, the results were reviewed as consistent with a regression theory of hypnosis and creativity.
