This is a quick self-check on the slow-motion kind of tired that a weekend never seems to fix. It looks at the places burnout usually shows up first — energy, attitude toward the work, whether you still feel effective, and how well the walls around your evenings and sleep are holding. It is a mirror, not a verdict.
The World Health Organization describes burnout in the ICD-11 as an occupational phenomenon with three dimensions: exhaustion, mental distance or cynicism toward your job, and a reduced sense of accomplishment. The questions here spread across those three, plus the boundaries, sleep, and recovery habits that tend to feed them. Your answers are weighted and pooled into a qualitative band rather than a clinical number — the point is to notice a direction, not to hand you a precise reading.
A lower band suggests your reserves are mostly intact; a higher one suggests the tank has been running near empty long enough that it has started to feel normal. Neither is a diagnosis. Treat the result as a prompt to look at what is actually draining you and what, if anything, refills you.
If the cynicism and exhaustion items rang loud, the useful next move is small and concrete: protect one genuine recovery window, name the boundary you keep letting slide, and read what burnout actually is so you can tell it apart from ordinary tiredness. If it runs deep or lingers, that is a conversation for a professional, not a quiz.
The WHO classifies burnout in the ICD-11 as an occupational phenomenon — something arising specifically from chronic workplace stress — rather than a standalone medical diagnosis. This quiz reflects that framing and does not diagnose anything.
Exhaustion, mental distance or cynicism toward the work, and a reduced sense of professional efficacy. The questions here draw on all three, alongside the sleep and boundary habits that tend to accelerate them.
Not quite. Ordinary tiredness usually eases with rest; burnout is the version that a weekend off does not touch and that starts to color how you feel about the work itself.
Yes. Many people keep hitting their targets while quietly running on fumes, which is part of why the reduced-efficacy dimension can be the last one you notice.
