Occupational Burnout Test

A short screening questionnaire covering the three dimensions of occupational burnout: exhaustion, mental distance from work and sense of efficacy. It takes about 3 minutes to complete.

0 / 9

Instructions

This test will help you check whether the way you have been feeling about work may point to a risk of burnout. As you answer, think about your work over the past few months.

Answer nine short questions to get a result that you can discuss with a psychologist or psychotherapist.

Important: This test does not replace professional diagnosis. Burnout relates to the occupational context — if you experience similar difficulties outside work as well, it is all the more worth consulting a specialist.

Answers stay in your browser until submission. With explicit consent, see your result immediately without an account or email. Saved results link to your browser session, without answers, IP addresses or full browser details. Private access lasts 30 days; daily cleanup deletes expired results from the active database within one day. Analytics needs separate consent; answers, results, email and topics are excluded.

To withdraw storage consent, you can delete the saved result from its result page in the browser where you completed the questionnaire. If that browser session is lost or you open an email link on another device, contact the privacy team for deletion.

This test is for information only and does not replace a professional diagnosis. According to the WHO, burnout is a work-related phenomenon, not an illness — but its symptoms can co-occur with, for example, depression or anxiety disorders. Whatever your result, if the difficulties persist, we recommend consulting a psychologist or psychiatrist.
