Sound familiar?
Obsessive-compulsive patterns rarely start dramatically. They grow quietly — until they noticeably cost you time and energy.
You know the stove is off. You go back anyway.
Not because you’re forgetful — but because knowing doesn’t calm the feeling. So you check one more time. And sometimes one more after that.
Thoughts you never asked for
An image, a sentence, a what-if — uninvited and unsettling. And the harder you try to push them away, the louder they come back.
Nothing moves on until it feels “just right”
Counting, aligning, repeating, mentally counteracting: small rituals that bring brief relief — and demand more and more room over time.
Is this still thorough — or already something more?
That exact uncertainty keeps many people alone with it for a long time. A structured screening doesn’t replace a professional — but it turns a vague gut feeling into a clear picture.
The six areas at a glance
Obsessive-compulsive symptoms wear many faces. That’s why we don’t measure one blanket score but six areas individually — because checking is one thing and rumination another, and each deserves a look of its own.
Germ-Conscious vs. Carefree
How much thoughts of germs and contamination accompany your day — from relaxed handwashing to cleaning that never quite feels “finished.”
Checking vs. Trusting
The stove, the door, that sent message: how often you double-check — and whether one look is enough or the doubt comes knocking again right after.
Order-Focused vs. Flexible
How much inner tension builds when things aren’t symmetrical, sorted, or “just right” — and how much time straightening them up costs you.
Thought-Burdened vs. At Ease
Unwanted, intrusive thoughts you can’t shake off — and how much room they take up in your head.
Holding On vs. Letting Go
How hard it is for you to part with things — and whether keeping them gives you security or gradually eats up space, clarity, and energy.
Ritualized vs. Spontaneous
Counting, repeating, silent formulas: how much you rely on rituals to defuse uncomfortable thoughts.

Built on an established instrument
Our screening follows the construct framework of the OCI-R (Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised) — one of the most widely used self-report instruments for obsessive-compulsive symptoms worldwide. It distinguishes six symptom areas: washing, checking, ordering, obsessive thoughts, hoarding, and mental neutralizing.
30 statements on a 7-point scale — five per area, including some deliberately reverse-keyed — produce a differentiated profile instead of a single blanket number. That matters, because obsessive-compulsive symptoms look very different from person to person: someone who checks a lot may have no issue with germs at all.
Just as important is the boundary: a screening is a structured snapshot, not a diagnostic tool. Whether OCD is actually present can only be determined by a qualified professional. Your result can be valuable preparation for that conversation — and the good news is: OCD is among the most treatable mental health conditions.
This screening is a self-assessment tool for orientation, not a diagnostic instrument. It doesn’t replace an evaluation by a physician or licensed mental-health professional — OCD can only be diagnosed by qualified professionals. If thoughts or rituals are weighing on you heavily, please seek professional support: OCD is highly treatable.
Frequently asked questions
About 6 minutes. The 30 statements are deliberately written in plain language — answer spontaneously and honestly instead of deliberating. That’s what makes the result most meaningful.

The screening follows the construct framework of the OCI-R, an established self-report instrument for obsessive-compulsive symptoms. It gives you a structured view of how present these patterns currently are in your daily life — provided you answer honestly. It cannot and does not aim to replace an evaluation by a physician or therapist.
No. A high score means obsessive-compulsive patterns are currently pronounced for you — no more, no less. Whether it’s actually OCD can only be determined through an evaluation by a physician or licensed therapist. A high score is a good reason to seek out that conversation: OCD is very treatable — and the earlier, the better.
Not automatically. The decisive difference is distress: order that serves you is a strength. Rules that rule you — and cost you time, peace, and freedom — are something else. That’s exactly the line this screening explores across all six areas.
Yes. You don’t need an account for the screening, and your result is only accessible through your personal link. Especially with a topic this personal, you alone decide who gets to see it.
Six minutes for a clear picture.
You don’t have to keep wondering whether this is “still normal.” Find out how present obsessive-compulsive patterns are for you — with an honest assessment and a plan for the first step.
