In brief : Burnout or professional exhaustion syndrome is a progressive process related to chronic workplace stress.

Burnout or professional exhaustion syndrome is a progressive process related to chronic workplace stress. This comprehensive test evaluates four fundamental dimensions identified by research: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization in professional relationships, loss of sense of accomplishment, and cynicism. Understanding your burnout profile will help you identify priority action areas to restore a healthy work-life balance.

What the test measures

  • Feeling emotionally drained and exhausted by work.
  • Distant, detached, or dehumanizing attitude toward colleagues or clients.
  • Sense of competence and achievement in one's work.
  • Loss of meaning, disillusionment, and negative attitudes toward work.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

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