OCD is not the same as detail oriented. OCD is the disorder of having to have certain things in a certain way.
Detail oriented is just that, you care about details. Like someone who paints your house can go fast on the large surfaces, but you get the detail-oriented person to do your window trims in a different color without it splattering over the white facade.
