Analysis of Relationships among Hypnotic Susceptibility, Personality Type, and Vividness of Mental Imagery
This study was designed to clarify the rather elusive nature of hypnotic susceptibility by examining its relationship to Jungian personality types and vividness of mental imagery. The results evidenced minimal and nonsignificant relationships among all variables for the total sample of subjects. However, since there was a significant difference between mean scores of 22 males and 33 females on hypnotic susceptibility, a further examination of these relationships was undertaken within each sex. Once again, neither personality type nor mental imagery correlated significantly with hypnotic susceptibility for either sex. However, a rather interesting relationship emerged between the measures of extraversion and mental imagery for the male subjects.
