Common questions
What is the OCI-R?
The OCI-R — the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised — is an 18-question OCD test used in clinics and research worldwide. It measures distress from obsessions and compulsions over the past month, scored 0 to 72. A score of 21 or higher suggests clinically significant OCD symptoms.
Is the OCI-R a diagnosis?
No. It's a screening tool. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose obsessive-compulsive disorder.
What does treatment for OCD look like?
The gold standard is ERP — exposure and response prevention therapy — sometimes combined with medication. Many people improve significantly.
I have intrusive thoughts. Does that mean I have OCD?
Almost everyone has intrusive thoughts sometimes. OCD involves thoughts that are frequent, distressing, and hard to dismiss, plus compulsions or avoidance to neutralize them. The OCI-R measures that pattern.
Who made the OCI-R?
Drs. Edna B. Foa, Jonathan D. Huppert and colleagues. It's free to use for clinical and research purposes.
