Is someone's susceptibility to hypnosis at all related to their aptitude for critical thinking?

Hypnotizability is a genetic variable. It's independent of higher brain functions. That said, people with good imaginations prone to "day dreaming" are usually excellent subjects. People who are considered "right brained" - logical, rational, critical – not so much.
