“…Two available studies related Rorschach scores to social conformity as measured by shifts in judgment of autokinetic movement to conform to "judgments" of a confederate of the experimenter. Linton (1954) reported that subjects who increased their estimates as a result of the judgments of a confederate obtained significantly higher Sum C scores, while Steisel (1952) obtained similarly significant results with CF scores when the judgments of a confederate were directed at reducing the estimates made by the subject, but insignificant results when the judgments were directed at increasing the estimates made by the subject. Brennan (1943) reported that good subjects for hypnosis, highly suggestible individuals, have significantly higher Sum C scores.…”

“…The Rorschach has also been used to study susceptibility (Brenman & Reichard, 1943;Sarbin & Madon, 1942;Steisel, 1952), but results of these studies have been conflicting and ambiguous. It is a fair conclusion that projective tests have by and large been unsuccessful in identifying clinical and personality correlates of hypnosis.…”

4 groups totaling 87 undergraduate females of relatively different hypnotic susceptibility as determined by Form A of the Stanford Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility completed the questionnaire form of the MMPI. The most susceptible group scored significantly lower than the others on the Pd scale (p<.01), but no other significant differences were found between groups. Mean scores of all susceptibility groups fell within the normal range, suggesting that hypnotic susceptibility is not grossly related to psychopathology.

“…Suggestibility here is correlated with the personality factors of "ascendancy," "self-coddence," and "lack of nervous tension.' ' Steisel (1952) tested 12 hypotheses of possible Etorschach indicators of suggestibility, but was unable to demonstrate any relationship between any Rorschach variable and any test of suggestibility, including postural sway. Considerable effort by various workers has been expended in an attempt to relate suggestibility to "neuroticism."…”

This paper SUM the relatively unsuccessful effort to relate hypnotizability to sex, age, psychiatric diagnoses, suggestibility, and various personality traits. The problems of measurement, subject selection, controls, and experimenter biss are reviewed. Comparison of data iS diflicuIt and replication of studies infrequent. This might be a t tributed to incomplete reporting of methodology, to defects in experimental design, and to various conceptual problems. Concepts which view hypnotizability as a "something" universal, a "something" unique, or a "nothing" are briefly appraised. Finally, hypnotizability is seen as a "term" describing a relationship between a "route" and a "state"-h identifiable by merawable criteria. This paper summarizes the older experimental literature on hypnotizability, last reviewed extensively by Weitzenhoffer in 1953, but focuses on more recent reports. Other reviews include Bramwell (1903) ) Hull (1933), and the less comprehensive reviews of Pattie (1956a), Weitzenhoffer,S and Young (1926;. Although hypnotizability generally refers to the observation that only certain individuah can be hypnotized, definitions of hypnotizability vary so considerably from paper to paper that the approach here is to accept each definition as it is advanced in a given report.3
