ABSTRACT
Hypnotizability of 45 medical students was assessed by applying the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form: A (HGSHS:A) of Shor and Orne. Comparison of hypnotizability with performance of the students at a test examination evolved a significant positive correlation (r = 0.59). The prevalent misconception that only psychologically weak or sick people with poor intelligence are hypnotizable is disproved. Probable causes, responsible for such a relationship between hypnotizability and performance at examination are discussed.
