Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The measure that is most commonly found to be related to hypnotic suggestibility is absorption, which refers to the ability to become deeply engaged in sensory or imaginative experiences. Those who score high on absorption tend to have more vivid and immersive experiences during hypnosis, and are more likely to respond to suggestions for altered states of consciousness or behavior change. Psychosis, expectancy, and extraversion may also have some relationship to hypnotic suggestibility, but they are not as consistently supported by research.
