Burnout at Work Self-Assessment
Explores feelings of burnout at work, including exhaustion and growing distance or disengagement from your job.
What this assessment explores
If work has started to feel like something you're just surviving rather than showing up for – or the exhaustion has gone beyond tired and into something harder to shake – this assessment helps you understand what's going on. It looks at two core dimensions of burnout: how depleted you're feeling physically and mentally, and how disconnected you've become from your work. It's built on the OLBI, a widely used burnout measure across occupational settings.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 16 questions, and they'll ask you to reflect on how work has been feeling lately – both in your body and your head.
The questions touch on things like:
- Exhaustion – physical tiredness, emotional fatigue, and the need for rest that doesn't come
- Disengagement – negative feelings toward your work, going through the motions, or quietly checking out
Your responses give you a clearer picture of where burnout is showing up for you – and how severe each dimension feels right now.
