Free Self-Rated Screening
Do I have OCD?
An OCI-R-style check across washing, checking, ordering, obsessing, hoarding and mental rituals — the core symptom domains of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Answer each item honestly to get a score and general interpretation — this is for awareness only and doesn't replace a psychiatric assessment.
This public web version uses symptom domains from the widely studied Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) rather than reproducing its proprietary item wording. OCI-R scores of roughly 21 and above are commonly used as a screening cutoff for probable OCD.

Occasional checking or orderliness preferences are common. Consider consultation only if it starts consuming significant time. Screening results are not a diagnosis. A clinical interview is needed to understand causes, severity, safety, medical factors and the best treatment plan.
