APZ questionnaire

The APZ (Abnormal Mental States) questionnaire is one of the most widely used psychometric scales for assessing subjective experiences of altered states of consciousness.[1] First published in 1998 by Adolf Dittrich, the APZ questionnaire comprises three dimensions: "Oceanic Boundlessness (OSE)", "Dread of Ego Dissolution (AIA)" and "Visionary Restructuralization (VUS)".[2] According to Google Scholar, it has been cited at least 269 times.

gollark: Hmm, let me find the w3c validator...

gollark: Actual browsers just have to make a best guess at what the page actually means. Run any site through a HTML validator and check.

gollark: Why? Partly because it's really weird generally because of inconsistencies, partly because *nothing actually matches the standard properly*.
