Depends on the degree.
But it is perfect for programming.
I can generate huge programs very quickly, and they run perfectly.
The only problem real can be the acid reflux.

Re: How sensitive is your OCD radar?
Hold on to your hats girls and boys, but I just retook the test, trying to get every single one of them wrong, and it still told me I got 100%.
They did shuffle around the images, but I know I got them all wrong. So the test is bogus for some reason.

There is no degree, you either are or aren't. How quickly you can run a program has nothing to do with OCD. So you are fast at huge programs, not unusual nor is it OCD.

Yes there are degrees.
It is better if I get positive feedback or other things that can reduce paranoia and the adrenaline response it creates.
And no, it has nothing to do with "how quickly you can RUN a program".
I am talking about creating the software.
I do things no one else could possibly do.
What I do is very unusual.
For example, Microsoft hired me to reverse engineer the private file format of competing software. There is no way anyone else could have come up with a way of doing that, or have kept at it for the months it took to crack it.
Can you imagine the attention to detail it takes to design and write a million lines of code and have it still work perfectly decades later?

Re: How sensitive is your OCD radar?
I did it again and got 90% observant and 10% OCD.

That's weird. I'll try it again.
Okay, this time I only clicked the choice on the right, and it also gave me 90% observant and 10% OCD. So I don't know?

If you click left only, you are 100% OCD.

Re: How sensitive is your OCD radar?
I just clicked only on the left, and got:
{...
Great news! You're OCD free!
You are relaxed, easy going, and whimsical. You know that life is hard enough, and you shouldn't sweat over the little things. Good for you!!

I rather think that it is entirely arbitrary.
