Do you have spelling OCD?
I'm not sure that do, although I scored 15/15 in the quiz. I thought it was actually pretty easy. I think it's actually more an issue of having been schooled before spell checkers existed. See how you do.

I don't consider myself a good speller, but not terrible. It was pretty easy, but I still managed to get 2 wrong - I think I'm a long way from being considered OCD when it comes to spelling though.

15/15 but I don't consider myself OCD otherwise I'd spend hours every day correcting the spelling on online forums. (not this site of course where everyone spells purfectly well)

Ashamed to admit I actually got one wrong (I said sieze instead of seize).
But I would like to point out that you shouldn't use the acronym OCD.
The preferred form is CDO, because if you really have it, you insist on the letters being in alphabetical order.

I got all 15, but in a couple of instances, I chose the correct spelling because the other two looked more wrong.

Not at all. I'm already a great speler.
I might have speling ADHD, however.

Wow, I remember stuff from grade school! Not OCD about it though and I'm grateful for spell checkers.

When you are dyslexic like me, you can really get in trouble spelling.

I don't think knowing how to spell means you have OCD

15/15 - I'm sure a harder test would yield different results. Of course the imperfect speller might have other talents, like...politician. Taters anyone?

Some people might just have Multiple Choice Test OCD, not Spelling OCD....
