Authors tried to investigate the relations between various personality patterns and hypnotizability in this study. Sixty-three senior medical students(48 males and 15 females) completed NHQ(natural hypnotic questionnaire) developed from a list of
naturally occurring hypnotic-like experiences, MBTI(Myers-Briggs Type Inventory,) EPQ(Eysenck Personality Questionnaire), and PTS(Pavlovian Temperament Survey).
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1) There were more introverts, sensing types, and thinking types than extraverts, intuition types, and feeling types of MBTI, respectively, in total subjects. ISTJ and ESTJ subtypes of MBTI were more common than any other subtypes.
2) There was no significant sex difference in natural hypnotic score(NHS).
3) Natural hypnotic scores were not different between each of 16 MBTI subtypes.
4) There was no statistically significant difference in NHS between extraverts and introverts, sensing and intuition, thinking and feeling, and judgment and perception types.
5) Each score of extraverts, introverts, sensing, intuition, thinking, feeling, judgment, and perception types was not significantly correlated with NHS in total subjects, but there was a trend of inverse correlation between the score of male
thinking
types and the NHS.
6) The scores of neuroticism and psychoticism dimensions in Eysenck Personality Questionnaire were significantly correlated with the NHS in total subjects, and in male subjects, but not in female subjects. The male subjects also showed a trend
of
inverse correlation between the score of Lie dimension and NHS.
7) There were trends of inverse correlation between the score of inhibitability in male subjects and the NHS, and of positive correlation between the score of excitability in female subjects and the NHS.
