    As to your own post 2 minutes before this one and the other posts in the thread you posted in, there is iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, dysprosium, magnetite, yttrium and tungsten which I know of.

    And like Capuchin said in that same thread, it depends on what kind of magnetism.

    Only those substances are attracted to magnet which carries unpaired electrons in the orbital. Because spin motion of electron produces a magnetic field around it which then interacts with magnetic field on incoming magnet, and thus they attract each other.
    You can find the unpaired electron in element with use of Electronic configuration of electrons in sub shell and orbitals
