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

In brief : Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, images, or impulses that impose themselves on the mind involuntarily and cause significant distress.

Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, images, or impulses that impose themselves on the mind involuntarily and cause significant distress. This test explores four key dimensions of obsessions: intrusive thoughts, pathological doubt, the need for control, and obsessional guilt. It will help you better understand the nature and intensity of your obsessional experiences and their impact on your daily life.

What the test measures

• Unwanted thoughts, images, or impulses that impose themselves on the mind repetitively.
• Excessive uncertainty and constant need for checking or reassurance.
• Compelling need to master one's thoughts, environment, and situations.
• Intense feeling of guilt linked to the obsessional thoughts themselves.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Low obsessions : Your level of obsessions is low. Unwanted thoughts may occur occasionally, which is part of the normal human experience. You have good capabilities for managing these thoughts.
• Moderate obsessions : Your obsessions are moderately present. They cause you some discomfort but do not dominate your daily life. Vigilance and some adjustments may suffice.
• High obsessions : The level of obsessions is significantly high. Obsessional thoughts occupy a large portion of your time and generate notable distress. Professional support is recommended.
• Very high obsessions : Your obsessions are very pervasive and cause significant suffering. They significantly disrupt your daily functioning. Specialized treatment is strongly recommended.
