- ABOUT THE TEST
The Clinical Basis For OCD Screening Test
This self-screening tool draws on principles from the Y-BOCS (Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale), the standard measure clinicians use to assess OCD severity, covering both obsessions and compulsions rather than one alone.
Most people experience an intrusive thought now and then; what matters is how much time it takes up, and what you feel compelled to do about it. This test looks at both sides of that equation: the thoughts themselves and the behaviours that follow.
Grounded in Clinical Practice
Built on principles from the Y-BOCS, the same framework specialists use to assess OCD severity.
A Starting Point, Not a Label
Your score flags whether these patterns are worth a closer look, not who you are.
A Clear Way Forward
If your results suggest possible OCD, HelloDoc can connect you with a psychologist/psychiatrist for assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few honest answers before you begin an OCD screening test.
Is this OCD test a diagnosis?
No. This is a screening tool only. OCD can present differently from person to person and can overlap with other conditions; only a formal assessment by a qualified professional can confirm a diagnosis.
How long does the test take?
About 2 to 3 minutes for 18 questions. Answer with your first instinct rather than second-guessing yourself; it’s usually the truest response.
What should I do if my score is high?
A higher score doesn’t confirm OCD, but recurring intrusive thoughts or compulsions are worth taking seriously. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists.
