Are You Burning Out?
A scenario-based burnout assessment built specifically for managers — measuring the 5 dimensions where management drains you most.
15 questions · About 4 minutes · No email required
What This Assessment Measures
Manager burnout is not the same as regular work stress. It is a specific pattern of emotional exhaustion, creeping cynicism, and declining effectiveness that comes from the unique demands of managing people. You are absorbing your team's frustrations, navigating organizational politics, making decisions with incomplete information, and doing it all while someone evaluates whether you are doing it well enough.
Most burnout quizzes are built for general workplace stress. This one is different. Every question is a scenario that managers specifically face — the 1-on-1 you do not have energy for, the initiative you cannot bring yourself to care about, the Sunday evening dread that starts earlier each week. Your answers map to five research-backed dimensions of manager burnout: Emotional Drain, Cynicism, Overload, Identity Erosion, and Physical Warning Signs.
Your results include an overall burnout risk score, a breakdown across all five dimensions, personalized guidance for each, and recommended reading. A high score is not a failure — it is information. Burnout is not a character flaw. It is a signal that something in your environment, workload, or approach needs to change.
This assessment takes about 4 minutes. No email address is required. Your answers are not stored anywhere.
This assessment is designed for self-reflection and personal awareness. It is not a clinical instrument, a medical diagnosis, or a substitute for professional mental health support. If you are experiencing severe burnout symptoms — persistent exhaustion, depression, or thoughts of self-harm — please reach out to a healthcare professional or call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).

If You Need Support
Burnout is not a personal failure — it is a response to sustained, unmanageable stress. If your results concern you, please take them seriously. You do not have to navigate this alone.
Talk to your doctor or a therapist
Burnout has real physical and psychological effects. A professional can help you build a recovery plan that goes beyond self-help.
Talk to your manager or HR
If workload or organizational issues are driving your burnout, an honest conversation about what needs to change is a necessary step — not a sign of weakness.
Check your Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Most companies offer free, confidential counseling sessions through an EAP. Ask HR if yours has one — many managers don't know it exists.
