Is it true that everyone can be hypnotized?
Partly. Popular self-help and reference sources assert that everyone can be hypnotized, though one of them carves out exceptions, while a reference article on hypnotic susceptibility notes that people vary in responsiveness and that unwilling subjects may not be hypnotized. None of the placed items is a rigorous study settling the universal claim.
