	According to Barry Klein,<blockquote>"The current 5D-ASC test is an extension of the OAV instrument, which, in turn, is based on Dittrich’s APZ (“Abnormer Psychischer Zustaende” -- Abnormal Mental States) questionnaire, and the two revisions mentioned are widely used for self-reporting subjective experiences of ASC. “OAV” stands for the German equivalents of the original three dimensions used: Oceanic Boundlessness (OB), Dread or Anxiety of Ego-death (DED or AED), and Visionary Restructuralization (VR). [...] In the most recent version of the test (5D-ASC), additional components include Auditory Alterations (AA) and Reduction of Vigilance (RV). These two versions of the Dittrich questionnaire have been used all over the world in at least 70 studies, mainly to report on psychedelic drugs, especially psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, THC, and DMT (Pistoia, Mura, Govoni, Fini, & Sara, 2010), but also including studies dealing with various induction methods and psychosis (Vaitl et al., 2005)."<ref>https://www.academia.edu/38875371/The_5D_ASC_Test_for_Non_Ordinary_States_of_Consciousness_The_5D_ASC_Test_for_Non_Ordinary_States_of_Consciousness_Background_and_Purpose</ref></blockquote>This scale is copyrighted, so we will list the scale's structure and items separately.
