The degree to which a person's perception remains stable across different conditions—with or without psilocybin and during hypnotic induction—appears to be a fixed personality trait. In four subjects classified as either "variable" or "stable" reactors based on their MMPI profiles, those with stable perceptual performance under control conditions also showed stable performance after taking 160–200 µg/kg psilocybin, even when hypnotically induced. Susceptibility to hypnosis did not relate to the ability to exactly replicate the perceptual task under hypnosis.
