What this test explores
The test focuses on how often, in your current or recent work/study situation, you experience:
- Emotional & physical exhaustion – feeling drained, empty or beyond tired.
- Cynicism & detachment – feeling distant, negative or numb toward work and people.
- Reduced sense of effectiveness – feeling less capable, slower or like your efforts do not matter.
- Recovery & boundaries – difficulty switching off, resting and protecting your energy.
Burnout risk is influenced by workload, control, support, values and personal history. This test cannot tell you “the cause”, but it can give language to experiences that may need attention.
Before you start
This psychological self-assessment self-assessment helps you explore burnout risk, exhaustion, and overload. Answer each item based on your typical recent experience. 40 questions, all responses are required for an accurate indicative result.
This page is designed for self-reflection around burnout risk, exhaustion, and overload.
Look at how often the pattern appears, how strong it feels, and how much it affects daily functioning.
Online screening tools can support awareness, but they cannot confirm or exclude a clinical condition.
Who this test may help
This test may be useful if you want a structured snapshot of burnout risk, exhaustion, and overload and a starting point for reflection, tracking, or discussion with a professional.
How to read your score
Interpret the result together with context: recent stressors, sleep, health, relationships, and how long the pattern has been present. Borderline scores are best treated as signals, not labels.

How to use this result
Burnout usually reflects a mismatch between what is being asked of you and the resources, support or meaning available — not a personal weakness. Seeing specific patterns (exhaustion, cynicism, reduced effectiveness, difficulty recovering) can help you think about realistic adjustments and sources of support.
You can use this profile to guide conversations with professionals, managers or trusted people, and to experiment with small changes in workload, rest, boundaries and values alignment.
Burnout Risk Test – FAQ
Is feeling exhausted the same as burnout?
Not always. Many people go through tired periods. Burnout usually combines exhaustion with growing cynicism or detachment and a reduced sense of effectiveness or meaning over time.
Should I quit my job if my burnout risk score is high?
Not necessarily. Some people benefit from changing jobs, others from adjusting workload, boundaries and support in their current role. This test cannot tell you what to decide, but it can highlight how serious the impact feels right now.
Can this test replace a professional assessment?
No. The test is a self-reflection and psychoeducation tool. It cannot evaluate your physical health, workplace conditions or other mental health factors. If your score is high or you feel close to “shutting down”, consider talking with a qualified professional.
