Scores from 103 Ss on a 60-item inventory of attitudes and experiences outside of hypnosis, called the Hypnotic Characteristics Inventory (HCI), along with sum-true scores on an abbreviated form of the MMPI, and interviewer predictions, were entered into a correlational matrix together with later-obtained hypnotic susceptibility scores derived from SHSS Forms A and C. The matrix was factor-analyzed and rotated to a hypothetical structure. Hypnotic susceptibility was characterized by 2 oblique factors, 1 termed trance-susceptibility, the other induction-susceptibility. Questionnaire measures, which were found compounded with an acquiescence tendency, were correlated with trancesusceptibility but not induction-susceptibility, indicating a limitation in hypnotic prediction from questionnaires.
