The [tag-tec]hypnosis session[/tag-tec] suggestibility talent varies from one person to another. Some people have a great talent for [tag-tec]hypnosis[/tag-tec], whereas others have a tiny capacity. The majority is in between. This talent for hypnosis can be compared to that of drawing, for example.

Many researchers have generally considered the [tag-tec]hypnotic[/tag-tec] talent to be a fixed trait. However, in clinical practice it soon became apparent that a person can amplify his or her ability to be [tag-tec]hypnotized[/tag-tec]. It’s like drawing where practice makes you a better and more skillful drawer. A handful of people possess an extreme talent for [tag-ice]hypnosis[/tag-ice]. These people display abilities the rest of us can only dream of and they make wonderful subjects for [tag-tec]stage hypnosis[/tag-tec].

A [tag-tec]suggestibility[/tag-tec] test is a test to show the suggestibility of a subject. Everybody who is of sound mind and intelligence can be hypnotized. But, not everybody can be [tag-ice]hypnotized[/tag-ice] at the speed necessary for the entertainment value of a stage show. This is where the [tag-ice]suggestibility[/tag-ice] test comes in. The suggestibility tests vary from hand magnet tests to so called fall back tests and each different [tag-tec]hypnotist[/tag-tec] uses different tests to assess the suggestibility of the subject during the [tag-ice]hypnosis session[/tag-ice].
