Introduction

Instructions

The following statements refer to experiences that many people have in their everyday lives. Select the answer that best describes how much that experience has distressed or bothered you during the past month.

Scoring and result metrics

The result page reports a local screening score for this questionnaire. Use the score range, any subscale scores, and the interpretation band together rather than treating one number as a diagnosis.

Result indicators
Total score / Interpretation band when available

Score interpretation bands

  • 0-20Lower range

    Scores below 21 are generally not indicative of OCD symptoms.

  • 21-72Elevated range

    Scores above 20 are generally indicative of OCD symptoms.

Interpretation bands summarize screening thresholds from the questionnaire source material. Higher scores usually indicate more of the measured concern unless the tool notes a different scoring rule.
