Workaholism Test
A HelpClinic questionnaire about compulsive work: working when nothing requires it, being unable to let go, and the price rest and relationships pay for it. The questions cover the past 30 days and take about 3 minutes.
Instructions
This questionnaire does not ask how many hours you work. It asks something else: what pushes you into work when nothing requires it any more β and what happens when you try to stop.
Answer ten questions, thinking about the past 30 days. If this has been an unusual stretch β a deadline, a move, a busy season β answer for how it actually was, not for how things normally look.
Important: "workaholism" is not a diagnostic entity in either ICD-11 or DSM-5-TR. This questionnaire is not a validated psychometric instrument and identifies nothing β it is a starting point for a conversation, with yourself or with a professional.
All the tests and self-help tools are in the HelpClinic app.

This is a self-reflection tool built by HelpClinic. It is for information only and does not replace a professional diagnosis. It is not a validated psychometric questionnaire, and the boundaries between score levels are not clinical thresholds. "Workaholism" is not a diagnosis in ICD-11 or DSM-5-TR. ICD-11 lists occupational burn-out (QD85) as a work-related phenomenon rather than a medical condition; it describes something different from this questionnaire and has its own test here. Compulsive work is, however, often a way of coping with anxiety, low mood or loss; if you recognise the pattern in yourself, it is worth talking through with a psychologist.
