This is partly true: scientific studies do often claim that only 5-10% of the population is suggestible to hypnosis. But these studies are largely flawed because researchers only test participants with common hypnotic inductions and generic hypnosis scripts.
Hypnosis doesn’t work in a one-size-fits-all kind of way though (because its effectiveness comes from the use of our own personal and unique associations and understanding of language)…
A real hypnotist has the ability to read his patient, stray away from generic scripts, and discover the language most suggestible to that particular patient.There are even techniques in NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming -a practice that could be considered “modern day hypnosis”) that allows NLP practitioners to discover a person’s language tendencies (sometimes referred to as “trance words” or “key words”) simply by asking the patient a series of questions.
In other words, with the right hypnotist and the right communication – anyone is suggestible to hypnosis.
