Green, J. P. (2004). The five factor model of personality and hypnotizability: Little variance in common. Contemporary Hypnosis, 21(4), 161-168. In 285 undergraduates, this study compared the NEO-PI-R and the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility (HGSHS). Gender and personality test scores were accounted for by approximately 8% (6% adjusted) of the variance in hypnotizability scores.

The scores on individual facets on the NEO-PI-R accounted for about 21% (12% adjusted) of the variance on the HGSHS:A. These results are consistent with previous studies that attempted to correlate hypnotizability with a measure of the five factor model of personality. Address for reprints: Joseph P.
