What this tool is and isn't
This is not a diagnosis. Only a qualified professional can diagnose OCD. This quiz identifies patterns that may be worth discussing with a specialist.
OCD is widely misunderstood, even by many therapists. A self-assessment like this can help you put language to what you're experiencing, but it can't replace a thorough clinical evaluation. If the results resonate with you, that's worth paying attention to.
Questions people ask before taking this
How accurate is an online OCD self-assessment?
It's a starting point, not a diagnosis. This assessment is built around the patterns clinicians actually look for -- obsessions, compulsions, and the cycle between them -- so it's more specific than a generic anxiety quiz. But no online tool can replace a clinical evaluation, and OCD in particular is easy to second-guess yourself out of. If the results resonate, that's worth paying attention to, whatever the exact score says.
Is this the same as an official OCD diagnosis?
No. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose OCD, and that requires a full clinical evaluation, not a 10-question quiz. This tool exists to help you put language to what you're experiencing and decide whether that conversation is worth having -- it's an educational starting point, not a substitute for one.
What happens after I take the assessment?
Nothing happens automatically -- there's no follow-up email, no sales sequence. You'll see your results on screen, and you can decide from there whether it's worth a free 15-minute consult to talk through what you're noticing. Many people take the quiz weeks or months before ever reaching out, and that's fine.
Will my answers be saved, sent, or shared with anyone?
No. Nothing is stored, sent, or shared. Your answers exist only in your browser while you're on the page and disappear the moment you close it or navigate away. There's no account, no email capture, and no tracking of individual responses.
How long does the OCD self-assessment take?
About 3 minutes. It's 10 questions, answered at your own pace, with no time limit.
What if my results suggest OCD but I'm not sure I believe it?
That reaction is common, and worth noticing rather than dismissing. OCD often includes doubting the very thing that's happening to you, which is part of why self-diagnosis alone is unreliable in either direction. A free 15-minute consult is a low-pressure way to get an outside perspective from someone trained specifically in OCD, without committing to anything.
