What the burnout test measures
This self-assessment looks at burnout — how often it shows up, how strongly, and how much it is shaping your day-to-day life. The questions are a short scale written and reviewed by HopeQure psychologists. It is not a diagnosis, but it can point you toward areas to find and work on. It's worth a conversation.
- “I feel emotionally drained by my work.
- “I feel used up at the end of the workday.
- “I dread getting up and facing another day at work.
How AI helps with this test — and where it stops
When you finish, it helps you see patterns — not a directed template — and tells you which areas you scored highest on, what pattern this suggests, and three small steps to try this week. It writes in plain language, in seconds.
It does not diagnose, does not name a condition, and does not store your name or chat history as part of your result. If something sensitive or serious comes up, it will suggest you speak with a qualified counselling psychologist.
Who should take it
Employees, managers and founders who want an honest read on burnout. Many take it before a review, after a role change, or when Sunday evenings start to feel heavy. HR teams on HopeQure use the anonymised version to plan support.

How it is scored, and what your result means
Every answer scores 0–4. The total becomes a percentage and lands in one of three bands. A higher score means more signs of burnout.
Your answers do not suggest burnout is a problem right now. Keep the habits that are working, and come back if things change.
Several answers point to burnout affecting your days. This is the stage where one conversation with a counselling psychologist changes the most — before it becomes a pattern.
Your answers suggest burnout is significant and probably costing you. This is not a diagnosis, but it is a clear reason to talk to a counselling psychologist this week. You can book below, or ask us to call you.

Book a chat, save for later, or look at what's next. No pressure — the result is yours.
When to talk to a counselling psychologist
When the same situation keeps producing the same result and you would like a different one. A few sessions with a counselling psychologist give you a method for burnout, not just advice — and most people notice the difference within a month.
How this test was built
The items follow the . Written around the three MBI dimensions; not the MBI itself.
Maslach C, Jackson SE, Leiter MP. Maslach Burnout Inventory Manual. 4th ed. Mind Garden; 2016.
Each answer is worth 0–4. The total is divided by the maximum and shown as a percentage, then placed in one of three bands at 34% and 67%. That arithmetic is fixed — the AI writes the words, never the number.
Screening, not diagnosis. No single questionnaire can diagnose anything; a clinician takes history, context and time. If something serious shows up, the page says so and shows the crisis line before anything else.
Every band of result text is written and checked by HopeQure's clinical team and revisited when the instrument's guidance changes. The date above is the last review, not the publish date.
Three things worth knowing
10 questions, one at a time. No account, no email, no card. You can stop halfway and pick it up later on this device.
The scale is about how often, not how bad. Answer as the last few weeks actually were — the result is only useful if it is honest.
Your answers stay in the browser unless you ask for a call back. Never shared with an employer, even on a company plan.
“It named the thing I could not. I showed the result to my counselling psychologist in the first session and we started from there.”

Questions people ask
View all FAQs →Is the burnout test free?
Yes — free, no account needed, and the result is instant. It takes about 4 minutes.
Can this test diagnose burnout?
No. It is a screening tool: it tells you whether burnout is worth talking to a professional about. Only a qualified clinician — on HopeQure, a counselling psychologist — can assess and diagnose.
How is it scored?
Each answer scores 0–4. Your total is shown as a percentage of the maximum and placed in one of three bands — low, moderate, high — with a plain-language explanation of what that band usually means and what to do next.
Who sees my answers?
Nobody, unless you leave your name and number for a call back. Results are never shared with an employer, even if you use HopeQure through a company plan.
What should I do if my result is high?
A high result is a reason to talk to a counselling psychologist, not a verdict. Book a session below, ask for a free call back, or message us on WhatsApp. Most people feel the first shift within a few sessions.
Can I retake it?
Yes, any time. Many people retake a test every few weeks during therapy to see the score move — that is exactly how clinicians use these instruments.
Rather just talk to someone?
A care coordinator can connect you with a counselling psychologist — free, private, and with no obligation.
