i just took an ocd quiz on a medical website (http://psychcentral.com)
If you scored...
Then...
12 & up OCD is likely
Then...
12 & up OCD is likely
8 - 11 OCD is probable
0 - 7 OCD is unlikely
I scored a 13: Based upon your responses to this screening measure, you are most likely suffering from an obsessive-compulsive disorder. You can view symptoms and treatment options for this disorder. This is not a diagnosis, or a recommendation for treatment. However, it would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek a professional diagnosis from a trained mental health professional in your community immediately.

although maybe i have this:
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
Individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder typically experience:
>A significant preoccupation with perfection, control, and order
>Rigid behaviors, resistance to change, and inflexibility
>Often described as dependable, rigid, stern, and stubborn
>Feelings of helplessness in uncontrollable situations
oh, and didder, 'This disorder tends to occur in families and thus may have a genetic component.'
hmm, i can relate to that too, but i'm sure i don't have OCD (but like i said, i might have something else & wonder what it'd say about me;)... and you forgot to say that the bold was theirs, not yours! haha ... how many points were possible, just curious?
honey, you scored a 13 on that? please don't push me in front of a bus!!!!!!!
i scored a 1, which surprised me. but then, none of those questions really applied. my ocd has to do with things like people putting knives on the fork side or mailing Christmas cards on December 10th.
what's wrong with Dec 10? It will be a massive feat of accomplishment if I manage to get ours out before Christmas!!!
I'm with kim :)
no, she's saying that both she and i have this thing that we have to get cards out by then
how the heck did you score a 1?
i took it again and scored an 11
not by december 10, mel - i have to mail them on the 10th. no sooner, no later.
oh, now that's just silly. i say by the 10th.
no. before the 10th is too soon and people think you're one of those ocd people who have to get them out right away. after the 10th is too late and people think they're not going to get cards from you.
and if you all think that's really pathetic, what's even more so is that i can predict fairly accurately who we'll be getting cards from on a given day, because i know when everyone else sends out their cards.
busy, you're late this year.
mine usually get out between the 4th and the 10th
hobbitsister, i think you need to seek a professional diagnosis IMMEDIATELY ;)
i think you're right, which is why i was really surprised (and a bit disappointed, to be honest) that i only scored 1 point
Sigh...my nephew and niece are still being medicated for OCD, but it seems to be helping. Trust me, this test seems to be a bit off...especially since hobbitsister scored a one. What is up with that!?!?!?
