Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales

The Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales are standardized tests used to measure how easily a person can become hypnotized. They consist of a series of simple tasks or suggestions, such as feeling numb or hallucinating objects. The person's responses indicate their level of susceptibility to hypnosis, which varies individually. These scales help researchers understand individual differences in hypnotic responsiveness and are used in clinical and scientific settings to explore consciousness and therapeutic applications.
