What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder composed of two parts: Obsessions and Compulsions. OCD is a chronic, genetic condition that produces significant distress when not properly diagnosed and treated. OCD can severely affect an individual mentally, emotionally and socially.
The symptoms of OCD include obsessions, which are commonly known to be unwanted intrusive thoughts experienced as repetitive thoughts, images, or impulses that are negative and produce distress and discomfort.
Types of OCD Test
Our OCD Subtype test is the most comprehensive OCD type test on the internet. Our goal was to create a test that would clearly indicate which types of OCD are present and to what degree they are present. This test consists of 4 questions per individual test, totaling 152 questions on this subtype test.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) test & self-assessment
Our website offers multiple OCD test options, including the OCD Severity Test, OCD Intrusive Thoughts Test, Types of OCD Test, and Individual Subtypes of OCD Tests. The OCD Severity Test is designed to assess the severity and type of OCD symptoms in patients with OCD. Before you begin the test, read the following definitions and examples of “Obsessions” and “Compulsions.” Take The OCD Severity Test.
Additionally, we also offer a OCD Subtype Test, which will help identify what type of OCD you could be suffering from. This test has a total of 38 subtypes of OCD. Take The OCD Types Test.
Obsessions
Obsessions are repetitive, unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or impulses that are negative and produce distress and discomfort. Obsessional themes for individuals with OCD can come in many forms; germs, order, symmetry, fear of harming, violent thoughts and images, sexual fears, religious and morality. In all cases, these thoughts create fear in an individual with OCD because they go against their identity and caste doubt and uncertainty into their lives.
Compulsions
In order to relieve the discomforting feelings of anxiety, fear, shame, and/or disgust from an Obsession, an action or behavior is performed to reduce or eliminate the distress. This is called a Compulsion. Compulsions, or any act to avoid or minimize anxiety or guilt, can come in many forms as well; cleaning, washing, checking, counting, tics, or any mental act that replays or checks mentally to determine if one did or is capable of performing any of the Obsessional thoughts.
