The Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI) (Maudsley Obsessional Compulsive Questionnaire)
(MOCQ) was designed to investigate different types of symptoms in patients with rituals. Hodgson in 1977
I developed this instrument with the items that best discriminate obsessive patients from neurotics.
trying to assess the symptoms more clearly obsessed-compulsive. Subsequently, it was systematized in
1980.
On the other hand, it tries to resolve the ambiguity of 'trait-symptom' that occurs in the Leyton questionnaire.
As is known, this is based on a card system, although there is a version with pencil and paper.
We have an adaptation in Spanish from Avila (1986), which is the one we present.
It is a self-administered questionnaire of 30 items with true/false responses. It can be obtained

global. The issues raised by the interviewee regarding the questionnaire questions must be addressed,
trying not to influence the natural trend of the response.
A total score is obtained, which is the sum of the scores obtained on all items. Half score directly (1 -
0) and the other half in reverse (0 - 1).
Scores from the four subscales can be obtained: verification (items 6, 8, 14, 15, 20, 22, 26, and 28),
limpieza (ítems 1, 4, 5, 9, 13, 17, 19, 21, 24 y 26), enlentecimiento (ítems 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 25 y 29) y duda (ítems 3, 7,
10, 11, 12, 18 and 30.
INTERPRETATION
There are no cutoff points to distinguish obsessive-compulsive patients, as this is not the objective of...
Questionnaire 1 and the results should be interpreted as a measure of the intensity of behaviors.
obsessive-compulsive.
It is more sensitive to compulsive and cleaning behaviors than to aggression or hoarding behaviors, so
that some types of patients, like the scrupulous ones, may be undervalued. It is not very suitable for measuring.
symptomatic changes.
It is not designed for the diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It assesses the weight of the different rituals in the
obsessive patients. Their interest lies in the organization of the investigated symptoms in order to compare intra and
inter-subjects for research purposes mainly. Their clinical utility is more limited.
Psychometric properties
Reliability:
The Cronbach's alpha indices for the subscales range between 0.7 and 0.8. The test-retest reliability shows an index of
Kendall (true/false and false/true concordance) of 0.8.
Validity:
The gamma coefficient of Goodman and Kruskal on therapist-questionnaire association is 0.7. The total score
it has a good correlation with the Leyton Obsessional Inventory (0.6). Its psychometric values have been
studied by other authors9,10.

You have a considerable tendency towards obsessive thoughts or to the...

if these caused you suffering, consider the possibility of counseling by

daily, nor do undesirable thoughts constantly assault the mind.
