Burnout Test

Burnout does not happen overnight. It is a gradual process marked by persistent fatigue, growing indifference towards your responsibilities, and a declining sense of purpose at work. If you still feel exhausted after the weekend and thoughts of work cause intense irritation, these may be signs of burnout. This test focuses on everyday situations at work. Your answers will help you understand whether your fatigue is within a typical range or calls for more substantial changes to your routine and workload. The test takes about 6 minutes.

How this test is built

The test consists of 16 questions focused specifically on how you feel in the workplace. The questionnaire draws on widely recognised principles for assessing occupational burnout: emotional exhaustion, detachment from work, and reduced personal effectiveness. The total score, ranging from 0 to 64, indicates your level of exhaustion. This test is an educational self-reflection tool and is not a substitute for an official diagnosis or professional consultation.

Questions about “Emotional burnout”

What does this test assess?

The test assesses how you feel in the workplace, including emotional exhaustion, apathy or cynicism towards your tasks, and your sense of professional effectiveness.

How does burnout differ from severe stress?

A person under stress usually feels intense pressure but still believes they will feel better once everything is done. Burnout is characterised by emptiness, indifference, and a loss of meaning—the person no longer has the energy to care about their work.

Is the test result an official diagnosis?

No. This is an educational self-reflection tool. Although the questions are based on psychological principles used to assess burnout, the result is not a substitute for a professional evaluation. Only a qualified medical professional can make an official diagnosis.

How are the test scores interpreted?

The test consists of 16 questions. Each answer is assigned a score, and the total, ranging from 0 to 64, corresponds to one of three levels of exhaustion: low, moderate, or high.

Is it really burnout if I simply dislike my job?

Boredom or dissatisfaction with working conditions is different from burnout. Burnout involves profound physical and emotional exhaustion that often carries over into personal life and makes it difficult to sleep or rest.

What should I do if my burnout score is high?

The most important thing is not to rush into drastic decisions or try to work even harder. The first step is to take some physical distance from work and speak with a professional.

How long does the test take?

The test takes about 6 minutes and is free.
