Answers:
Yes, you have OCD!. It sounds like you are getting some neuro-psychological testing!.!.!.they will ask you some number questions, some reading questions, timed tests, etc!. There are no right or wrong answers!
There are several medications that help a lot with OCD!.
I also suggest you see a professional social worker or psychologist for therapy to discuss your fears & learn better ways to cope!.
I don't think you will grow out of it but it may change & not be so severe with meds & treatment!.

You certainly have OCD, but so what!? It is part of your personality and you can live with it!. OCD could perhaps be regarded as carrying perfectionism to extremes!. You are clearly a perfectionist who goes to extremes as you have a few obsessions but so what!?
As you are only 16 you will probably grow out of it!. If it causes enormous problems perhaps you could seek some treatment in a few years time when you are a few years older but any treatment may not necessarily make any difference!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
