About this test
Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It builds up slowly until work (or studies, or caring for others) drains everything you have.
Think about the last few weeks and answer how often each statement applies to you. If you study or care for someone, think of that as your 'work'.
The three dimensions of burnout
Psychologist Christina Maslach described burnout through three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, cynicism or detachment from work, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment. Since 2019, the World Health Organization has recognized burnout as an occupational phenomenon in its classification of diseases (ICD-11).
Burnout isn't a personal weakness: it usually stems from an imbalance between demands and resources. Rest helps, but lasting change usually involves adjusting workload, boundaries and support. If symptoms are intense, talk to a doctor or psychologist.
