Burnout Assessment

What this test measures

This burnout assessment measures the three core dimensions of burnout as defined by leading research: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (feeling detached or cynical), and reduced personal accomplishment. It gives you a snapshot of how you’re currently functioning at work or in other high-demand environments. The goal is to help you recognize early warning signs—like chronic fatigue, loss of motivation, or irritability—before they escalate.

How it works

You’ll answer a short series of questions about your recent experiences at work or in your main role. Each item is framed as a statement, and you rate how often you feel that way (from “never” to “every day”). There are no right or wrong answers—just honest ones. The process takes about 5 minutes, and you don’t need to sign up or share any personal information. Your results are calculated instantly.

How to read your results

After submitting, you’ll see a score for each burnout dimension, along with an overall burnout risk level (low, moderate, or high). Low scores suggest you’re managing well. Moderate scores indicate some symptoms that may benefit from attention—like taking breaks or adjusting workload. High scores suggest significant burnout; it’s wise to consider professional support and lifestyle changes. Remember: this is a self-assessment, not a diagnosis. Use it as a conversation starter with a counselor or doctor if needed.

Who it's for

This test is for anyone who feels drained, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their work—whether you’re an employee, entrepreneur, student, or caregiver. It’s especially useful if you suspect burnout but aren’t sure, or if you want to track your well-being over time. It’s not meant for children or for diagnosing clinical conditions.

The science behind it

Our assessment draws on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) framework, the most widely used research tool for burnout since the 1980s. The dimensions—exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy—have been validated across many cultures and occupations. We’ve adapted the language for simplicity while preserving the core measurement principles. While not a substitute for a clinical interview, this tool reflects current psychological science on occupational stress and well-being.
