Background & Objectives: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic disorder that disables different functions of patients and the treatment is difficult and complicated because of signs inherent of disorder and tending to be chronic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the metacognition believes and personality characteristics of obsessive-compulsive patients. Materials & Methods: In a cross-sectional design (one year, from 12/2012 to 11/2013), 62 patients diagnosed with OCD from psychological clinic of Qazvin were selected by the method of time random sampling. Data were collected using Wells’ MCBQ-30, FFI-60 Costa & Mccare and MOCI questionnaire. Data were analyzed by version 21 SPSS software, descriptive and inferential statistical methods at the level 5 and 1 percent of Significant. Results: Personality components and metacognition believes do not make meaningful effect in obsession severity. Most of obsessed patients are in spectrum of neuroticism and then conscientiousness with extraversion and openness experience which neuroticism and conscientiousness is more in both and extraversion and openness experience is lower in patients. There is meaningful difference between cognitive confidences and other cognitive believe, and these are less than another believes in obsessed patients. The relationship between personality characteristics and cognition believes are the only meaningful relation which is observed. These meaningful relationships pertain to negative relationship of extraversion and cognitive confidence and the other coefficients are not meaningful. Conclusion: The research findings are consistent with meta-cognitive and personality characteristics conceptualizations of obsessive-compulsive disorders. This finding could be an important concept for etiology, continuation, and treatment of this disorder.
