Shows how much obsessive thoughts and repeated habits, such as checking, washing, counting or arranging, have bothered you over the past month. It is not a diagnosis, only a prompt to decide whether to talk to a professional.
The OCI-R (Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, Revised) was developed by Edna Foa and colleagues in 2002. Its 18 statements ask how much each experience has distressed or bothered you over the past month. They cover six areas of three statements each: washing, checking, ordering, obsessing, hoarding and neutralizing, such as counting or repeating numbers. Each answer scores 0 to 4 points and the total runs from 0 to 72. This page shows the total only, not the six areas.
This is not a diagnosis
A questionnaire cannot diagnose obsessive-compulsive disorder. Many people have intrusive thoughts and habits, and only a professional can tell after a conversation whether they amount to OCD. The cutoff is only a rough guide.
