Methodology & Scoring
This quiz maps ten everyday signals across the three classic burnout dimensions: exhaustion, cynicism or detachment, and reduced effectiveness, plus the physical and social signals that usually arrive with them. It is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical assessment or diagnosis; the World Health Organization classifies burnout as an occupational phenomenon, and if your symptoms affect your health, talk to a professional.
Scoring: Each scenario is scored 0 for rarely, 1 for sometimes, or 2 for most of the time. Total scores range from 0 to 20.
Whatever your score, look at which scenarios you answered highest: those name your specific energy leaks. If the leaks trace back to how your workplace operates rather than a passing season, recovery alone won't prevent a repeat, and the durable fix is a calmer environment.
