Burnout Screener
Check your burnout risk across three subscales.
How often do you experience the following?
1. I feel emotionally drained by my work or daily demands.
What this test measures
The Burnout Screener is a quick self-assessment that helps you gauge your current level of work-related burnout. It focuses on the three core dimensions recognized by researchers: emotional exhaustion (feeling drained), depersonalization (feeling detached or cynical), and reduced personal accomplishment (feeling ineffective). You’ll answer a few simple questions about how often you experience these feelings.
How it works
You’ll rate each statement on a scale from “never” to “very often.” There are no right or wrong answers — just your honest experience. The test takes about 5 minutes and gives you an instant score. No sign-up, no email required.
How to read your results
Your results show a score for each burnout dimension and an overall indicator. Higher scores suggest more burnout symptoms. Use this as a conversation starter — talk to a professional if your scores are high or if you’re struggling.
Who it's for
If you’re employed, studying, or in any demanding role, this screener can help you check in with yourself. It’s especially useful if you’ve been feeling tired, unmotivated, or disconnected from work.
The science behind it
This screener is based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the gold standard in burnout research for over 40 years. While not a clinical diagnosis, it provides a validated snapshot of your current state.
