The Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Test is based on the diagnostic criteria of OCPD. The main signs of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) include a general preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, mental and interpersonal control, and excessive attention to details. People, who suffer from OCDP, have a constant need for control over their environment, at the expense of flexibility, openness to experience, and efficiency. They are obsessed with workaholics. Miserliness is also a common character sign in those with this personality disorder.
The test covers all the signs of obsessive-compulsive personality. However, this online self-reported test is a preliminary assessment tool and not designed to make a diagnosis. Use the test’s results to decide if you need to see a doctor or other mental health professional to further discuss diagnosis and treatment.
An initial self-assessment by the online screening test is the first step in recognizing the problem. You can also use the test for monitoring your progress in the therapy process and evaluation of the treatment effectiveness.
