    This seems like complete horseshit to be honest
  • @jacob9540
    That chart is a time lapse of my wife’s reaction when I tell a dad joke
  • @Naruneyl
    Not me looking up and snapping a photo just to check 😭😭
  • @BBgotUtube
    More like how good they are at understanding fking directions?? "Look up into your head." Looks straight forward "Wow what mental fortitude!"
  • @alparker2800
    Did you just hypnotize me to make me roll my eyes into my head? That's amazing! lol
  • @jonosay854
    So by this Logic, 100% of my exes are hypnotizeable based off their eyerolls. Smh
  • @olivegoddess1
    I took a picture of myself, rolling my eyes up as much as I possibly could, and I was surprised that nearly my entire iris was still visible… I had no idea that’s what I look like when I roll my eyes… It looks like somewhere between eye numbers one and two on his chart. Not surprising… I already know I’m not very hypnotizable. Lol…I’ll be verifying how true this actually is.
  • Who come up with this? Im not hypnotizable, but this sounds dubious.
  • @clpasztor
    If this is true, I think it might have to do with people letting their guard down. If they don’t take their eyes off you, they don’t feel safe around you.
  • @MariJu1ce
    Can you explain why? Where did you get that info? Are you just saying words??
  • I must be very hypnotizable based on my eye rolling when I'm trapped in the car with my wife on a long road trip.
  • @jrp335
    All I heard was that the WWE missed a fun storyline for the Undertaker.
  • @Ktr-1142-ema
    Bet i can nearly see my own brain and hypnotizing me makes me unresponsive
  • @korosuke1788
    So rolling your eyes is an actual sign of mental weakness? :o
  • @joab757
    To this day I still don’t believe in hypnotism for some reason
  • @iscuit
    How would a psychiatrist be qualified to comment on this, it's so random
