Thought I'd make it a poll too for shits and giggles lol @HopelessForLife

Can I Be Hypnotized? Introduction to Hypnotic Suggestibility

There are two distinct types of Hypnotic Suggestibility – Physical and Emotional. Human behavior has led us to recognize that everyone is Hypnotizable and responsive to suggestions.

Unfortunately, they ask for country and state as a required question (other questions have a "prefer not to say" option) but you can just pick a random one really. This is a test/site that my hypnotherapist sent me.



Here's mine! Very accurate

 

[HopelessForLife]

I scored 71% emotional and 29% physical. We are somewhat similar!

 

[vitbar]

57% Emotional / 43% Physical – People who score at or close to the 50/50 range respond to both Literal and Inferred Suggestions are described as "Somnambulistic" personalities. This is the most suggestible person and is the best subject for a Stage Hypnosis show because they respond to physical challenges, emotional suggestions, positive and negative hallucinations, amnesia, and time distortion.

What Your E&P Suggestibility Score Means

• 72% Emotional – The higher your percentage of "Emotional Suggestibility" the more you respond in Hypnosis to Inferred Suggestions affecting your emotional behavior.
• 28% Physical – The higher your percentage of "Physical Suggestibility" the more you respond to Direct Literal Suggestions affecting your body while in Hypnosis.
• 72% Emotional / 28% Physical – People who score at or close to the 50/50 range respond to both Literal and Inferred Suggestions are described as "Somnambulistic" personalities. This is the most suggestible person and is the best subject for a Stage Hypnosis show because they respond to physical challenges, emotional suggestions, positive and negative hallucinations, amnesia, and time distortion.

Part of our system is sort of here due to hypnosis type stuff so definitely It makes sense that many systems would score higher emotional too. Lots of alters are very aware and protective, so literal "physical" hypnotic directions can easily be overridden, but subconscious ones can affect the whole system.

I scored 71% emotional and 29% physical. We are somewhat similar!

I also suspect people with BPD tend to have high Emotional. I mean... it sorta comes with the territory (also alot of us tend to have defiant qualities, so physical might be harder)

 

[Scythe]

I got emotional too, 77%, seems we have a tendency to drift towards that?

Do you know why? I'd have imagined the opposite because when one alter is hypnotized the other ones are unaffected.

Yeah, I wasn't even remotely surprised by my score, lol. Also, this may sound weird, but can I send you a message?

Do you know why? I'd have imagined the opposite because when one alter is hypnotized the other ones are unaffected.

Hypnosis in itself is a type of controlled dissociation. Due to being dissociative, the brain itself has a tendency to react to it, including the alter that is fronting. HOWEVER you're right in a way. It can affect different alters to different extents.

systems form due to childhood trauma fucking up the brain so bad it makes multiple people — it's not really a stretch for that fuck up to extend to not having defences against emotional hypnosis

[casual_existence]

I got 58% emotional and 42% physical so it looks like I'd be suggestible in general and it would be easy? Never thought I'd be like that lol.

 

[Prism]

52% emotional, 48% physical. Apparently this makes me the best subject for a stage hypnosis show, so if any of you are ever having one hmu I guess
