OCI-R (Obsessive Compulsive Inventory – Revised)
The OCI-R (Obsessive Compulsive Inventory – Revised) is a self reporting scale that allows clinicians to screen for potential obsessive compulsive disorder. The test is a screening tool, not a diagnostic tool, and cannot be used without consulting your clinician on for interpretation of the results.
Please read the following definitions before undertaking the OCI-R test.
Obsessions are unwelcome or distressing ideas, thoughts, images or impulses that repeatedly enter your mind. They may seem to occur against your will. They may be repugnant to you, are often senseless, and may not fit your actual personality at all (for example, the recurrent thought or impulse to harm to your children, even though you never would).
Compulsions are behaviours or acts that you feel driven to perform, even though you may recognize them as senseless or excessive. At times, you may try to resist doing them, but this may prove difficult. You may experience anxiety that does not diminish until the behaviour is completed.
