The Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale

The Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale is a standardized assessment used to measure how easily an individual can respond to hypnotic suggestions. It involves a series of tasks or tests administered while the person is under hypnosis, designed to evaluate their responsiveness. The results help determine a person's level of susceptibility to hypnosis, which can range from low to high. This scale is often used in research and clinical settings to better understand individual differences in hypnotic responsiveness, guiding personalized approaches in therapy or studying the phenomena of hypnosis itself.
