Professional Burnout Test: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score

Burnout, or professional exhaustion syndrome, is a gradual process linked to chronic stress at work. This in-depth test assesses four core dimensions identified by research: emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation in professional relationships, loss of the sense of accomplishment, and cynicism. Understanding your burnout profile will help you identify the priority levers for action so you can restore a healthy professional balance. You can also discuss this in Psy Lounge, a voice space run by a CBT-trained AI.

In the article that follows, I explore exhaustion and burnout. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a burnout test that helps you take stock of your level of professional exhaustion. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote two books on this subject, My Mind Won’t Give Me a Break and Your Thoughts Don’t Have to Run Your Life, if you would like to go further.

Take the test: Professional Burnout Test → — Emotional exhaustion, cynicism, loss of accomplishment: locate yourself on the four dimensions of burnout.

What the test measures

• Feeling emotionally empty and drained by work.
• A distant, detached or dehumanising attitude towards colleagues or clients.
• Sense of competence and achievement in your work.
• Loss of meaning, disillusionment and negative attitudes towards work.

How to read your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Low burnout: Your risk of burnout is low. You maintain a good professional and emotional balance in your work.
• Moderate burnout: You show moderate signs of burnout. Professional wear and tear is beginning to appear and deserves preventive attention.
• High burnout: Burnout is significantly present. Professional exhaustion is affecting your health, your relationships and your performance. Support is strongly recommended.
• Very high burnout: You are in a state of advanced burnout. The exhaustion is critical and requires immediate care. Your physical and mental health is at stake.
