- Answer for how you usually are, not how you would like to be. Your first reaction is usually best.
- You can go back to check or change an answer. The last question asks your age group.

This is not a diagnosis or a medical test. It shows how often you notice some common traits in yourself, for self-reflection only. If these traits worry you or get in the way of your life, talk to a doctor or another qualified professional.
What you get a score for
- Order and evenness. How strongly you need things lined up, even or arranged just right.
- Checking. How often you go back to make sure doors, switches or messages are right.
- Sticky thoughts. How often unwanted thoughts or worries get stuck and keep coming back.
- Cleanliness worries. How much germs, dirt and contamination are on your mind.
