What does this Work Anxiety Test measure?

This Work Anxiety Test explores how often you experience patterns of anxiety that are linked to your job or studies, such as performance worry, social anxiety at work, workload stress and job security concerns.

Is this Work Anxiety Test a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder or burnout?

No. This test is a self-help screening tool focused on work-related anxiety traits. It cannot confirm or exclude a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder, depression or burnout. Only a qualified professional can make a diagnosis after a full assessment.

What should I do if my work anxiety score is high?

A higher score suggests that work-related anxiety and stress may be significantly affecting your wellbeing. You may want to consider speaking with a mental health professional, occupational health services or an HR representative you trust to explore support, boundaries and possible adjustments.

Work Anxiety Test – Job Stress & Performance Worry Self-Assessment

What this test explores

The test focuses on how often, in your current or recent work/study situation, you experience:

Performance & evaluation anxiety – fear of making mistakes, being judged or not “good enough”.
Social & interpersonal anxiety – worry about colleagues, meetings, feedback or conflict.
Workload & control – feeling overwhelmed, pressured or out of control with tasks and deadlines.
Job security & future – anxiety about stability, money, promotion or losing your position.

Work anxiety can overlap with general anxiety, depression, burnout or difficult environments. This test cannot tell you the “cause”, but it can help you notice patterns that may deserve care and support.

How the test works

You will see one statement at a time. Answer based on your typical experience in your current or most recent job (or studies, if you are a student). All questions are required.

How to use this result

Work anxiety is not a personal failure; it often reflects a mix of personality, history, job design and culture. Seeing patterns clearly can help you decide where to adjust expectations, boundaries, support or environment.

You can use this profile to notice which areas feel most active (for example fear of evaluation, social anxiety in meetings, workload pressure or fear about the future) and to guide conversations with professionals or trusted people about realistic changes and supports.

Work Anxiety Test – FAQ

Is it normal to feel anxious at work?

Yes. Many people feel some anxiety around deadlines, presentations or changes. The question is how frequent and intense it becomes, and whether it starts to harm your health, performance or relationships.

Does high work anxiety mean I should quit my job?

Not necessarily. Sometimes small changes (boundaries, support, role adjustments, therapy) can make a big difference. In other cases, a larger change might be needed. This test cannot tell you what to do, but it can highlight areas where change or support may be important.

Can this test replace a professional assessment?

No. The test is a self-reflection and psychoeducation tool. It cannot evaluate all factors like physical health, workplace rights or other mental health conditions. If your score is high or you feel overwhelmed, consider talking with a qualified professional.
