Suggestibility test
Most suggestibility tests ask you to rate yourself. This one doesn't. Each of the twelve questions is a small experiment you run while reading — the classic tests every hypnosis training uses, only without a hypnotist beside you. The question comes afterwards: what just happened?
At the end there is no score, there is a door. Four people go into trance by four different routes, and anyone who takes the wrong one concludes they cannot be hypnotised. That is the most common mistake in this field.

What this test can do — and what it can't
- It is not a clinical instrument. Research uses formal scales (Stanford, Harvard) administered under laboratory conditions. This is a signpost, not a finding.
- It does not measure talent. There are no “unhypnotisable” people in any everyday sense. Almost everyone reaches a usable trance — just not all through the same door.
- A quiet result does not mean shallow. People whose hands don't stick often go further than people whose fingers drift at once. They simply need longer, and different language.
- The door is not set in stone. Responsiveness is fairly stable over time, but the answer to it is learnable. Practise the route that fits you twice and the third time is quicker.
Common questions
How do I know if I'm hypnotizable?
Not by whether you “go under” — that is the commonest misconception. The reliable signs are the small ideomotor ones: hands that hesitate when pressed together, fingers that drift on their own, lids that turn heavy after an eye-roll, a mouth that waters at an imagined lemon. Those are exactly what this test asks about.
How do you know when you're hypnotised?
Usually not because something spectacular happens, but because something familiar is missing: the running commentary stops, time feels different, the body turns heavy or very light. Plenty of people say afterwards “I was awake the whole time” — and have still lost twenty minutes.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Almost anyone reaches a usable trance if they want to and the route suits them. What gets nobody there: pressure, distrust, or a method built for a different type. People who believe they cannot be hypnotised have usually landed on the wrong one of the four routes.
Can you hypnotise yourself?
Yes, and for some doors it is the easier start — especially the word-led one, because you cannot bluff yourself. What is missing is the thing that usually carries: a voice you can follow without steering. That is why self-hypnosis needs a firmer structure than a guided session.
Is the test anonymous?
Yes. There is no form, no sign-up and no mailing. Scoring happens entirely in your browser; we never see your answers.
