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 four 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 test covers checking, time, the body, avoidance, organization, perfectionism, anxiety, relief, reassurance, tension, rumination and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Checking If you insistently check that you have properly locked the door. If a single check is enough for you to feel at ease. Time If these checks take up a lot of your time daily. If your evening checks are quickly done, without another thought. The body If you wash your hands so long or so hard that your skin gets irritated. If you wash without any particular ritual. Avoidance If you avoid certain places for fear of dirt or germs. If you use public places and public transport without apprehension. Organization If you rearrange objects so they are perfectly aligned. If you put your things away without any particular order. Perfectionism If the feeling that it is not perfect stops you from moving on. If a crooked picture frame in the room goes unnoticed by you. Anxiety If touching certain surfaces (handles, money) makes you uncomfortable. If your mind stays free of any thought of contamination. Relief If repeating these gestures momentarily relieves your anxiety. If, when you know a gesture is pointless, you stop there. Reassurance If you sometimes ask others to check for you to reassure yourself. If, once something is checked, the doubt does not come back. Tension If you feel uncomfortable when someone disturbs the order of your belongings. If you can concentrate even when your surroundings are untidy. Rumination If you silently recite words or phrases to reassure yourself. If your mind stays calm, without needing to repeat words or numbers. Readiness to change If the way you function has a real effect on your daily life. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
