The test is usually used to assess individuals who may be experiencing symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder.
The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in individuals. In its original form, it consists of 18 items measuring the presence and severity of symptoms such as obsessions, compulsions and OCD.
No, the results of the OCD test are not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Scoring remains the same, items 1-20 are scored on a four-point scale, where 0 points are given to Not at all, 1 point to Slightly, 2 points to "Moderately", 3 points to Somewhat and 4 points to Strongly.
The two control questions (5 and 22) are not scored.
The results of each question are added together and interpreted.
The total score ranges from 0 to 80 points. The scores obtained for each item are added together to give the total score.
The interpretation of the score depends on the cutoff value chosen by the researcher or the doctor. Usually, a score of 32 points or more is considered a positive screening result for obsessive compulsive disorder.
