OCD Compulsions Test: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score

Compulsions are repetitive behaviours or mental acts that a person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rigid rules. This test explores four major types of compulsions: checking rituals, behaviours linked to contamination, the need for symmetry and order, and counting and repetition rituals. Understanding your compulsions is an essential step towards regaining control of your daily life.

In the article that follows, I explore obsessions and compulsions. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed an OCD test that helps you take stock of the presence of intrusive thoughts and rituals. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.

What the test measures

• Repetitive checking behaviours (doors, appliances, documents) aimed at reducing anxiety.
• Excessive cleaning and hygiene rituals linked to the fear of contamination.
• An imperative need for order, symmetry and precise alignment of objects.
• Mental or behavioural rituals of counting, repeating gestures or words.

Take the test: OCD Test (Obsessions) → — Are your compulsions a response to invasive obsessions? This test assesses the obsessive thoughts that fuel your rituals.

How to read your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Low compulsions: Your compulsive behaviours are within the normal range. Some repetitive habits are part of normal human functioning and pose no problem.
• Moderate compulsions: Your compulsions are moderately present. They take up a certain amount of your day and cause discomfort, but they do not yet dominate your daily life.
• High compulsions: The compulsions are significant and affect your daily, social and professional functioning. They take up a substantial share of your time.
• Very high compulsions: Your compulsions are highly invasive and seriously disrupt your daily life. They cause considerable suffering and a major loss of time.
