Criteria for Low-Score Subjective Paranormal Experience

These criteria have been used in Neppe's research in the area of SPEs.

Low-score SPEs imply SPEs which conform to specific subjective criteria. Thus it is a lower score overall than High-score SPEs which just require the experient to subjectively perceive the specific experience as of paranormal kind.
