Burnout Test: signs of professional exhaustion at work
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 20 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test assesses burnout through four aspects: what energy is left at the end of a day, the distance taken from colleagues and assignments, the lost sense of being effective, and the tone that has turned bitter.
The report locates where each of these aspects stands; they generally appear in a regular order.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Overcoming Anxiety and Stress, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.
And if what you are going through is happening at work, I'd suggest ScanMyJob: it goes back through your work conversations — messages, email threads — and turns them into a dated, exportable record of facts. It qualifies nothing: it dates and it counts.
