Take our free Burnout Test to understand your exhaustion. Based on scientific models, this assessment reveals if you're facing simple fatigue or chronic burnout.
You’re not just "tired." You’re bone-deep weary. You wake up dreading the day, and by 2 PM, you feel like you’re wading through molasses. Perhaps you’ve started looking at your email inbox with a strange mix of numbness and irritation, or maybe you’ve noticed that the passion you once had for your work has quietly evaporated, leaving behind a hollow sense of "why bother?" If this resonates, you are not alone—and more importantly, this isn't a failure of your character. It’s a signal from your system.
This Burnout Test is designed to help you decode that signal. It moves beyond the simple question of "Am I stressed?" to map the specific texture of your exhaustion. By measuring key dimensions like emotional depletion and cynicism, we help you understand if you are simply in need of a vacation, or if you are caught in a chronic cycle that requires a different approach to heal.
This isn't just about getting a score; it's about validating your reality so you can stop gaslighting yourself into working harder.
Burnout is not just "working too hard." It is a specific occupational phenomenon recognized by the World Health Organization. It happens when the demands of your environment consistently outpace your resources to cope.
You might be asking yourself:
Our assessment is grounded in the "gold standard" theoretical models of occupational burnout, similar to frameworks like the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). We view burnout as a continuum—not a simple switch that is "on" or "off"—allowing us to catch you in the warning phases before a total crash.
The test consists of 15 questions and takes approximately 3–5 minutes to complete.
Tip: Be brutally honest. No one will see these results but you. If you feel something "every day," say so. Minimizing your symptoms here will only hide the insights you need.
We use a 7-point frequency scale (ranging from "Never" to "Every Day"). Your responses are weighted and summed to place you into one of three distinct result profiles, ranging from healthy engagement to high-risk burnout patterns.
This test is especially helpful if you:

We don't just give you a number; we provide a narrative that acts as a mirror to your current state. Based on your answers, you will fall into one of these three categories:
1. Type A: Healthy Engagement
You are effectively balancing the demands of work with your recovery needs. The "engine" is running smoothly, though maintenance is always required.
2. Type B: The Warning Zone
You are not fully burned out, but friction is building. You are likely surviving on adrenaline or habit, and the cost of working is starting to outweigh the rewards. This is the crucial moment for intervention.
3. Type C: Burnout Pattern
Your reserves are depleted. You are likely operating in "survival mode," characterized by deep exhaustion and a sense of detachment. This result validates that your need for rest is urgent and real.
Your result page will also include:
A "Burnout" result does not mean you are broken, and it does not mean you must quit your job tomorrow. It is simply data. It tells you that your current way of operating is expensive for your biology.
We won't just tell you to "take a vacation" (which isn't always possible). We will suggest micro-boundaries—like reclaiming your lunch break or turning off notifications—that stop the energy leak, alongside longer-term strategies for role realignment or seeking support.

Please Read Carefully:
This assessment is designed for educational and self-exploration purposes only. It relies on self-reported data and is not a clinical diagnostic tool.
While the results are based on psychological constructs, they cannot replace a professional evaluation. Burnout can share symptoms with clinical depression, thyroid issues, and other medical conditions. If you are feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or are experiencing physical symptoms, please consult a licensed mental health professional or a medical doctor.
You appear to have a healthy relationship with your work, characterized by manageable energy levels and a sense of purpose.
You are showing signs of friction, where the demands of work are beginning to outpace your ability to recharge.
Your reserves are running dangerously low, and you are likely operating in a state of survival rather than engagement.
