Minimal Intrusive Preoccupation
Expressions activating this band show little stable evidence of recurring unwanted mental occupation, with only scattered references to avoidance, anxiety, or detachment and substantial unrelated content. When the proxy is present, it appears as a faint or indirect tendency to steer away from distressing thoughts rather than sustained recurrence.
Mild Intrusive Preoccupation
Expressions activating this band describe repeated thinking, unwanted memories, or mental fixation that remains intermittent and often tied to attempts to control outcomes or find solutions. The experience is recognizable as hard-to-stop thinking, but it is still described in relatively contained or situational terms.
Moderate Intrusive Preoccupation
Expressions activating this band describe persistent thoughts that return throughout the day, linger in the mind, and resist redirection. The experience often includes mental replay, worry, self-questioning, or active efforts to push the content away or distract from it.
High Intrusive Preoccupation
Expressions activating this band describe mental content that keeps replaying, is triggered by reminders, and extends into humming, fantasizing, dreams, or difficulty settling the mind. The experience is vivid, recurrent, and hard to stop once activated.
Severe Intrusive Preoccupation
Expressions activating this band describe involuntary thoughts or pictures that abruptly enter awareness and will not leave the mind. The experience is intensely intrusive, recurrent, and image-based or memory-like, with little sense of control over its return.
