Detailed explanation-1: -The Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP) or the eye roll test, first proposed by Herbert Spiegel, is a simple test to loosely determine if a person is susceptible to hypnosis. A person is asked to roll their eyes upward. The degree to which the iris and cornea are seen is measured.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hypnotic susceptibility is an ability of responsiveness to suggestions for changes in subjective experience and for alterations in perception, sensation, emotion, thought, or behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most reliable correlate of hypnotizability is ‘absorption, ‘ or the tendency to have subjective experiences characterized by the full engagement of attention (narrowed or expanded), and blurred boundaries between self and object. By contrast, vividness of mental imagery is essentially uncorrelated with hypnosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hypnosis is a state of consciousness in which a person is especially susceptive to suggestion. Hypnosis can reduce the sensation of pain, create temporary states of amnesia, and affect sensory perception. However, it cannot increase physical strength, enhance memory, or regress a person back to their childhood.
