WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Questionnaire, OCI-R Test

Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) Test - Symptoms and Signs

This self-report measure is used to screen for and quantify the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) asks respondents to rate how much specific thoughts and behaviors have been distressing or bothersome.

It contains 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Item content samples multiple symptom domains commonly associated with obsessive-compulsive presentations (e.g., washing, checking, ordering, hoarding, obsessing, and mental neutralizing).

Results are intended to support clinical assessment, symptom profiling, and outcome monitoring rather than serve as a stand-alone diagnostic tool. The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) is referenced here as described by psytests.org (2024).
