Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) Test

People who want a clearer picture of recurring intrusive thoughts, rituals, contamination concerns, or saving behaviors may find the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) Test useful for structured self-reflection. It organizes common experiences into recognizable symptom dimensions and shows where reported symptoms or difficulties may be more prominent. An OCD symptom assessment can help a respondent decide which patterns deserve closer attention in daily life.

What This Assessment Explores

This assessment acts as an obsessive-compulsive symptoms test, organizing experiences:

• Hoarding (0-12) measures excessive acquisition and keeping of unnecessary items: Low 0-5; Elevated 6-12.
• Counting (0-12) measures counting urges and excessive preoccupation with numbers: Low 0-3; Moderate 4-7; High 8-12.
• Checking (0-12) measures excessive checking of doors, windows, drawers, faucets and switches: Low 0-3; Moderate 4-7; High 8-12.
• Ordering (0-12) measures patterned arrangement: Low 0-3; Moderate 4-7; High 8-12.
• Obsessing (0-12) measures distress over intrusive thoughts and control efforts: Low 0-3; Moderate 4-7; High 8-12.
• Washing (0-12) measures contamination-related washing and difficulty touching objects handled by others: Low 0-3; Moderate 4-7; High 8-12.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale (0-60) measures overall severity: Low 0-11; Elevated 12-60.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Responses use five-point self-report ratings, generally from Not at all to Extremely, with wording adapted to each statement. In this online OCD questionnaire, items ask about intensity or frequency of checking, washing, intrusive thoughts, counting, ordering, and saving. Responses contribute to relevant dimensions and an overall severity score; higher results indicate more prominent reported symptoms.

The questionnaire is conceptually consistent with the published OCI-R (Foa et al., 2002), an 18-item measure with six domains and a total score; this does not establish that the online version is the published instrument or a validated adaptation. The cited studies concern that published OCI-R: Huppert et al. (2007) studied its subscales in a clinical sample, and Hajcak et al. (2004) examined psychometric properties in a college sample. The online profile uses its own displayed bands; those findings do not establish identical norms or validation for this administration.

Because this questionnaire relies on self-report, results remain sensitive to current stress, self-awareness, and response bias. The profile organizes responses; elevated results identify areas for closer reflection rather than confirming a disorder, which requires broader assessment of duration, impairment, and context.
