Considerable experimental evidence indicates that, if anything, there is a slight positive relationship between suggestibility and intelligence." J. Milne Bramwell, too, says that he "found the stupid and unimaginative more difficult to influence than those possessing fair intelligence."It seems that direct suggestion requires an ability on the part of the subject to grasp the meaning of the hypnotist's instructions, and anything preventing such response makes practice so much more difficult. Insane people, as a rule, do not yield to suggestion as easily as do normal people, either because they shut themselves within their inner world, or because their minds are dim and incoherent, or else because their mental processes are too fast or too shifty to follow the steady process of verbal suggestion. Feeble-minded individuals, adults and children, are also exceedingly resistant to hypnosis.
