Revised 30-item Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ30). The MEQ30 is a psychometrically-validated retrospective measure of mystical experience. The 4 factors of the psychometrically validated questionnaire are derived from a total of 30 items that probe 7 dimensions (designated by underlines) of mystical experience that were identified by Stace (1960). The Mystical factor is composed of 15 items probing four dimensions of the Stace model (internal unity, external unity, noetic quality, and sacredness). Positive Mood (6 items), Transcendence of Time and Space (6 items) and Ineffability (3 items) factors correspond to three separate dimensions of the Stace model.
