        I've just been running through these and I'm a little confused. One question is:

        "Are you concerned about physically harming a loved one, pushing a stranger in front of a bus, steering your car into oncoming traffic; inappropriate sexual contact; or poisoning dinner guests?"

        Should you only answer in the affirmative if these things concern you? So if you consider doing these things but aren't concerned by those thoughts then you should say "no"?

          That's the OCD one, the key word is 'WORRY' as against show concern. A sufferer will spend hours actually trying to reassure themselves they didn't run someone over, even if their drive was completely uneventful and their car is undamaged (if they had hit someone then it would have visible damage). Its irrational fretting not due care & attention.

          quite terrifying to watch as well.

            Oh good. So not being concerned over those fantasies means I'm not a nutter. Phew!

              Apparently I could be dyspraxic, but then again I'm probably not

              I assume the "could be" bit comes from ticking the boxes that expressed my utter loathing of team sports, or any kind of organised physical activity. But I think that comes from hating the kind of person that delights in imposing such crap on others, rather than trying to cover up any physical inability to succeed. I've never made any secret of my physical inability to succeed at such activities, because I don't give a tinker's cuss for the opinions of those who value such success

                    you are probably still a nutter, but if you aren't unreasonably worried about things like this your diagnosis won't be OCD.

                    I would imagine most significant people in history would be sectionable in some way.
