Free Burnout Test Online - Check Your Work Stress & Exhaustion
Take a clinically inspired burnout screener that evaluates your emotional exhaustion, cynicism, sense of accomplishment, workload balance, and recovery quality. Get actionable guidance in minutes.
Six Dimensions of Burnout
Our screener evaluates the full burnout ecosystem - from emotional depletion and cynicism to workload sustainability, values alignment, and recovery quality.
Emotional Exhaustion
Measures the feeling of being emotionally overextended and depleted by your work or responsibilities. Emotional exhaustion is the core dimension of burnout - the sense that you have nothing left to give, even to things you once cared about.
Depersonalization
Evaluates cynicism, detachment, and a negative or detached attitude toward your work, colleagues, or the people you serve. Depersonalization is a defense mechanism that creates distance when emotional resources are depleted.
Reduced Accomplishment
Assesses feelings of ineffectiveness, lack of achievement, and declining confidence in your ability to perform well. Reduced personal accomplishment makes even successful outcomes feel hollow and meaningless.
Workload & Boundaries
Tracks whether your workload feels sustainable and whether you can maintain healthy boundaries between work and rest. Unsustainable demands are one of the strongest predictors of burnout progression.
Values Alignment
Measures the gap between what you value and what your work actually requires. Burnout often emerges when daily tasks feel disconnected from purpose, meaning, or personal identity.
Recovery & Recharge
Screens for whether your off-time genuinely restores you. Recovery quality - not just quantity - determines whether you return to work energized or increasingly depleted each cycle.
From Check-In to Recovery Plan
Three steps to understand your burnout risk and identify concrete actions for restoring energy and meaning.
Answer 18 Questions
