OCD: Compulsions test: what it measures and how to interpret your score

In brief : Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that a person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rigid rules.

Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that a person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rigid rules. This test explores four major types of compulsions: checking rituals, contamination-related behaviors, the need for symmetry and order, and counting and repetition rituals. Understanding your compulsions is an essential step toward regaining control of your daily life.

What the test measures

• Repetitive checking behaviors (doors, appliances, documents) to reduce anxiety.
• Excessive cleaning and hygiene rituals related to fear of contamination.
• Compelling need for order, symmetry, and precise alignment of objects.
• Mental or behavioral rituals involving counting, repeating gestures, or words.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Low compulsions : Your compulsive behaviors are within the normal range. Certain repetitive habits are part of normal human functioning and do not pose a problem.
• Moderate compulsions : Your compulsions are moderately present. They take some time in your day and cause discomfort, but do not yet dominate your daily life.
• High compulsions : Compulsions are significant and impact your daily, social, and professional functioning. They occupy a substantial portion of your time.
• Very high compulsions : Your compulsions are very pervasive and severely disrupt your daily life. They cause considerable suffering and major time loss.
