Abstract

This article describes two new tests that have moderate but statistically significant correlations with hypnotizability. The first test requests S to induce a number of hypnotic-like effects in himself and then to rate the result; for example, to rate how much difficulty he experienced in opening his mouth after concentrating on inability to do this. The second test is a self-rating measure of S's ability to experience semantic satiation. Also described is a procedure for obtaining a continuous measure of S's subjective depth during hypnosis. Results indicate that some Ss experience a paradoxical depth increase during trance termination, that Ss usually do not report a reinstated trance during performance of a simple posthypnotic response, and that only low relationships were found between self-ratings of depth and an objective measure of hypnotic depth.
