“…It seems likely that lack of intensity control may have accounted for a considerable part of the variance attributed to odor quality (cf. Wender, 1968). The unsolved issue of whether the sense of smell is synthetic or analytic is relevant in the present context.…”

“…In olfaction multidimensional scaling has been performed by Bienfang (1941), , Wender (1968), Woskow (1968), and Lange (1970). The typical strategy in these studies of odor has been to attempt to maximize the diversity of odorants in order to obtain the most reliable description of the whole odor space without considering the intensity of the odors.…”

Multidimensional analysis of twenty-one odors. Scand. J . Psychol., 1973, 14, 131-137.-The present paper reports an experiment on the application of multidimensional scaling to the sense of smell for the purpose of revealing basic psychophysical dimensions of odorants matched in perceived intensity and varying only in perceived quality. The results showed clear evidence for the existence of individuaI odor spaces, but in apparent contradiction to related studies in the literature individual differences were too large to establish a representative odor space for the whole group. For nearly all individual subjects one of the factors extracted seemed to represent a unique hedonic dimension apparently unrelated to the physical attributes of the odorants. It is suggested that such psychological factors may be as important a basis for the judgment of the similarity of odors as the physical attributes of the odorants. Both the interpretation of multidimensional analysis and the extent to which the sense of smell is analytic or synthetic depend on an understanding of this problem. Postal address: B.

“…Existing schemes of odor classification (e.g.. Amoore, Henning) are based on typologies rather than stimulus features or sensory dimensions, and there is little evidence that subjects can or do use these categories when judging odor quality (Cain, 1978). Subjects could have based their pitch matches along such putative olfactory dimensions as dullaromatic (Wender, 1968). heavy-light, bright-dark, or hard-soft (Klutky, 1990).…”

“…Since olfactory perception is a phasic-tonic sensory stimulus, there would have been a likelihood that the participants would have performed worse due to the sequential study design [ 18 ]. For this reason, the correct answer rates of the control group were examined separately according to a scent and test approach.…”

Sudden onset of anosmia is a phenomenon often associated with developing COVID-19 disease and has even been described as an initial isolated symptom in individual cases. In this case-control study, we investigated the feasibility of this condition as a suitable screening test in a population at risk. We performed a prospective study with a total of 313 subjects with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection. In parallel to routine PCR analysis, a modified commercial scent test was performed to objectify the presence of potential anosmia as a predictor of SARS-CoV-2 positivity. Furthermore, a structured interview assessment of the participants was conducted. A total of 12.1% of the study participants had molecular genetic detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the nasopharyngeal swab. It could be demonstrated that these subjects had a significantly weaker olfactory identification performance of the scents. Further analysis of the collected data from the scent test and medical history via random forest (Boruta) algorithm showed that no improvement of the prediction power was achieved by this design. The assay investigated in this study may be suitable for screening general olfactory function. For the screening of COVID-19, it seems to be affected by too many external and internal biases and requires too elaborate and selective pre-test screening.
