Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test describes the shape compulsive actions take: the checking, the washing and the avoidance of contact, the need for things to sit a particular way, and the repeating and the counting. The report places each of these forms on the basis of your answers.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

QUICK ANSWER
OCD Compulsions Test: Checking, Washing & Rituals — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test evaluates different forms of compulsions: checking rituals, washing and contamination, ordering and symmetry, counting and repetition. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 17 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test describes the shape compulsive actions take: checking, washing and the fear of contamination, ordering and symmetry, counting and repetition, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Checking If you go back down the stairs to check the door again. If one turn of the key is enough for you to leave with peace of mind. Washing and contamination If you wash your hands so hard that the skin on your fingers cracks. If you touch door handles, railings and lift buttons without thinking about it. Ordering and symmetry If a crooked frame in the living room makes you uneasy until you straighten it. If you put your things down on the table in no particular order. Counting and repetition If, when someone talks to you while you are counting, you start again from zero. If, when you count, every number feels the same to you. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your daily life. If you want to change the way you function day to day.
