Ocd?

[Joel007]

Woohoo! I reckon I might have a mild case of OCD. At least, that's what the quiz told me, and I've suspected ever since I met someone with obvious OCD who described some of the symptoms to me
I wonder if that explains my visiting the Chrons all the time

Dr. Grohol's Psych Central - OCD Screening Quiz (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

Results of your
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Screening

You scored a total of 6

You have answered this self-report questionnaire in such a way as to suggest that you do not likely currently suffer from an obsessive-compulsive disorder. You should not take this as a diagnosis or recommendation for treatment in any way, though.






Phew! As normal as anyone with an avatar and forum persona like mine, then!

Well I'll be! Tells me that it's likely that I have OCD. 12, I got.

Not surprising, though, really - everyone, no matter who it is, has some form of OCD, whether it be virtually undetectable, or severe.

[Anastasia]

I scored 24.

Which is interesting because I'm currently being treated for it!

[HardScienceFan]

I needn't take any test.
I think I've got every mental disorder known to man.

[Rane Longfox]

I am going to prove that I'm not OCD by not taking this test. Bwahahaha!

21 - You are most likely to be suffering from OCD.

Yeah. Well, I could have told them that. I've had this at least since I was in elementary school, although it has gotten a lot better in some ways than it was for a long time. Mostly it bothers me now when I'm really tired or feeling stressed about something.

And you've got to 1,000 chrons posts without being affected! Congrats!

[Lenny]

Some people just get all the luck, don't they?

Congrats, mosaix!

I got 18, so I'm up there. But I knew that aleady... (He says as he reads over his post - twice - and makes entirely nonessential and minor changes to punctuation.) (And then reads it again. Twice.)

[Quokka]

There's a very blurry line between a healthy habit, our own personal idiosyncrasies and OCD (not to downplay that it can also be very debilitating)... one that I think I step between all the time

I think the spelling/punctuation one is actually quite common - does anyone else find themselves bellowing "POST ENGLISH, DAMMIT" when the odd textese post appears?
Must be a high proportion of my 6 points!

I have this obsessive compulsion not to take any kind of personality test

Text language, argh double negatives (I hate those things), apostrophes in the wrong place (I try to put mine in the right places, although some still trip me up now and then!), abbreviations (which is why in the "The Person Below Me" thread, I still type out the entire thing instead of writing "TPBM" like everyone else!), lack of punctuation and etc etc, all those things annoy me!

I scored ten, by the way, which is quite surprising, I didn't think it would be so high. Although after the above rant, maybe it is quite accurate after all (especially the abbreviations, but I can't help it, I feel the need to type out the full words!)
