OCD Test: Uncover Your Mental Patterns & Find Clarity
Personality
We all have moments where we double-check the front door or feel annoyed when a picture frame is crooked. It is a universal human experience to want safety, order, and certainty. But for some of us, that desire for certainty doesn't just visit—it moves in, takes over the furniture, and refuses to leave.
You might be here because you are exhausted. Exhausted from the mental loops, the "what ifs," and the rituals that seem to eat up hours of your day. This test is designed to be a mirror, not a diagnosis. It helps you distinguish between high standards of conscientiousness and the "sticky" thought patterns associated with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), giving you the clarity needed to take the next step.
We often suffer in silence because we think our intrusive thoughts or private rituals are "crazy." This assessment is a tool for validation and self-discovery.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood as simply "liking things clean." In reality, it is a cycle of Obsessions (unwanted, distressing thoughts or urges) and Compulsions (repetitive behaviors performed to reduce the distress of those thoughts).
You might be asking yourself questions like:
"The problem in OCD isn't the thought itself—it's the brain's inability to let the thought pass without fighting it."
This assessment draws on the structural logic of widely respected clinical inventories, such as the OCI-R (Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory - Revised) and the DOCS (Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale). It focuses on the distress caused by the thoughts and the time consumed by the behaviors.
We measure your responses across four specific "friction points" common in OCD:
The test consists of 24 questions. It typically takes about 5 to 7 minutes to complete.
You will see statements describing common behaviors and feelings. You will be asked to rate how often or how intensely you experience them on a scale from 1 (Never) to 7 (Constantly).
Tip: Answer based on how you have felt over the last two weeks. Be honest—there are no "wrong" answers, and your results are private.
We sum your scores to determine the "weight" of these patterns in your life. We look at both the frequency of the behavior and the level of distress it causes you.
This test is especially helpful if you:
Please consider seeking professional help immediately if:
We don't just give you a score number; we provide a narrative profile that explains how your mind processes uncertainty.
You will discover which of these 3 profiles best matches your current state:
The Free-Flowing Mind (Low Indication)
The Vigilant Architect (Moderate Indication)
The Loop-Caught Observer (High Indication)
Your full report will also include:
A high score does not mean you are "broken," and a low score doesn't mean your struggles aren't real. This test captures a snapshot of your current behavioral patterns. Patterns are habits, and habits can be retrained.
"Use your result as a starting point for compassion, not judgment. Knowing why you do these things is the first step to doing them less."
Depending on your profile, we will suggest techniques such as "Delaying the Ritual" (waiting 2 minutes before checking) or "Labeling the Thought" (identifying intrusive thoughts as mental noise rather than threats).
Sharing your results with a partner or close friend can explain why you need certain things to be "just right," helping them support you rather than becoming frustrated. It is also an excellent document to bring to a first therapy session.
