The scale is copyright and is reproduced here with the permission of theauthors.The OCI consists of 42 items composing 7 subscales: Washing, Checking, Doubting, Ordering, Obsessing(i.e. having obsessional thoughts), Hoarding, and Mental Neutralising. Each item is rated on a 5-point (04) scale of symptom distress.Mean scores are calculated for each of the seven subscales, and an overall mean ‘distress’ score isprovided (rounded to 2 decimal places). Each score is presented as a mean out of a possible maximumof ‘4’. Lower scores are better. A total score of 42 or more, or a mean score of 2.5 or more in any of thesubscales suggests the presence of OCD, but is not diagnostic.Privacy - please note - this form does not transmit any information about you or your assessment scores.If you wish to keep your results, either print this document or save this file locally to your computer.
