<unk>  – sometimes referred to as<unk>  – is a test to rate the severity of<unk><unk>  disorder (OCD) symptoms.
The<unk>  was designed newly from the ground up by Dr. Wayne Goodman and colleagues.  It is used extensively in research and clinical practice to both determine severity of OCD and to monitor improvement during treatment. This scale, which measures obsessions separately from compulsions, specifically measures the severity of symptoms of<unk><unk>  disorder without being biased towards the type of obsessions or compulsions present.
The scale is a clinician-rated, 10-item scale, each item rated from 0 (no symptoms) to 40 (extreme symptoms). The results can be interpreted as follows:
0-7 Subclinical
8-15 Mild
16-23 Moderate
24-31 Severe
32-40 Extreme
Patients scoring in the mild range or higher should consider professional help in alleviating<unk><unk>  symptoms.
