Pathological Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Scale for Children (POPS-C)
The Pathological Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Scale for Children (POPS-C; Pinto, 2020) is a self-report measure of maladaptive obsessive-compulsive personality traits and severity. At the end of the questionnaire, you will be given feedback on your scores and a visual of your score profile.* Completing this questionnaire is not meant to take the place of a mental health evaluation. If you click the Accept button below, you accept and agree to use the POPS for your own personal information or in the context of mental health treatment. We encourage you to discuss elevated scores with a mental health professional and if needed to consider treatment options. You agree not to sell, offer for sale, or otherwise distribute the POPS for personal gain or a commercial purpose. You further agree not to revise, change or modify the POPS whatsoever without the prior written permission of Anthony Pinto, Ph.D. (apinto1@northwell.edu).
