Only 30 % for me. I'm chill.

!0% — Cool as a cucumber. But maybe I'd be a bit more bothered by some things than I think.

I'm 30% also Jane!
I was surprised because medicine is such an exacting profession that I'd have thought you'd have to be 100% on a test like this even to be admitted to medical school. So I thought I'd be near 100% on the quiz
Then I thought about how several of the pictures I thought to myself "What - is there supposed to be something odd about this photo? Looks OK to me." The messy car looks a lot like mine...but the dirty dishes and unmade bed would drive me crazy.
OTOH, if the quiz were oriented to work behavior, I think my score would be different.

That's exactly why I argue with my high score - context is everything. Is it messy or is it organic, germy dirt? But I do like symmetry, so the unbalanced kitchen would make me nuts - not that appliances were stacked but that they were tippy. And I think any exacting job does make you see inconsistencies. I've done a lot of editing, so the upside down package would leap out, but I wouldn't be outraged. (Still, it would have to be corrected.)
Jerry alphabetizes things (books, CDs, spices) and I see the benefits, but I'm not offended by disorder. And besides - one person's order is another's chaos. Why does my grocery store put oils in the baking aisle rather than the salad dressing aisle???

90-100% for me. I am a librarian. I actually see this as a good thing.

I used to think I was an introvert because at the end of the day I didn't want to go out and do stuff or see people, I just wanted to sit quietly at home, which wasn't all that quiet since we had little kids. Then I took my first Myers Briggs test and learned I was way extroverted; after a while I realized that was true.
I just "gave at the office."
So I bet I am very close to 100% OCD at work, but gee I gave at the office all day long. I just wanna chill in my personal life when I'm at leisure.
But I can see how librarians and bankers could be real OCD at work and at home. Some doctors too for that matter.

That's funny, Doc, because I was thinking, "That's me at work. That's not me at home."

Don't you have to be fairly OCD to be a live-aboard? Not much space, have to be very organized and you really can't postpone little chores because if you do, your home might sink!
I spose that is really only about the building or vessel, not about how you live your life.

I spose that is really only about the building or vessel, not about how you live your life. I think how you live your life is intertwined with where you live it. You may be raking leaves or cleaning your gutters while we are spraying crab and mussel shells off the dock and boat or caulking a portlight. |

Good insight, I hadn't thought of it that way. But do mussels just spray off? I think of them as tough little guys -you know, kind of muscular.
As for home vs. work, i think that's totally true. I came out high on extroversion at work, but that was totally self-taught. The need to chill is the basic need, because true extroverts are energized by other people. At least that's the theory.

The sea birds dive under the floating docks, pick dinner, and come back up to use the docks as a very long dinner table. Crab and mussel shell detritus, fish parts and the transformed back-door birds' dinners all wash off easily with a pressure gun on the hose. Makes walking easier for everybody. I think I scored so high on the OCD chart because I live with a builder. Quality craftsmanship leads to funny little ticks: Wherever we are, we constantly eye and line up wall corners, door jams, and window frames, checking "plumb and true." It's a habit. The spaces between cabinet doors and drawers tell all you need to know about the character of the builder. |

I got the same result, but I don't think it's accurate. I'm particular about certain things (the ones I can do something about, mostly, like that mess in the car photo and all those dirty dishes piled up (but if I didn't feel like washing them I'd just stack them more neatly!). Not too much anyone can do about the blue bead among the red ones or the DVD cases. |
