Intrusive Thoughts Test
Assess the impact of unwanted thoughts on your daily life
About this test
Intrusive thoughts are unwanted thoughts, images, or impulses that arise spontaneously in the mind. While everyone experiences them, they become problematic when they cause significant distress. This test explores the frequency of your intrusive thoughts, the intensity of distress they generate, your attempts to control them, and the thought-action fusion phenomenon (believing that thinking something is equivalent to doing it).
Dimensions assessed

- ●Distress experienced- Level of suffering and discomfort caused by intrusive thoughts.
- ●Control attempts- Efforts made to suppress, neutralize, or control intrusive thoughts.
- ●Thought-action fusion- Belief that thinking something is equivalent to doing it or increases the likelihood of it happening.
