How to tell you are burned out

Burnout creeps up slowly. First you just get more tired than usual, then weekends stop helping, and work that used to bring joy starts to irritate you. Many people live like this for years and think it is normal.

The test helps you look at yourself from the outside: it measures three sides of burnout and shows which one suffers most.

The three sides of burnout

  • Exhaustion. No energy for work or life; rest does not restore it.
  • Detachment. People irritate you, you stop caring, you run on autopilot.
  • Reduced effectiveness. Hard to focus, more mistakes, a feeling that your work is pointless.

Frequently asked questions

What is burnout?
A state in which long-term stress from work or another main occupation wears a person down. It has three sides: no energy, lost interest with growing irritation, and falling effectiveness. The World Health Organization describes burnout as a result of chronic workplace stress.
How is burnout different from depression?
Burnout is tied to work or your main occupation: people usually feel better on vacation and in other areas of life. Depression affects the whole of life. The signs are similar, so with a high score it is worth taking the depression test too.
Is the test for people who do not work?
Yes. Answer about your main occupation: studies, caring for a child or a relative, running a home. People burn out outside work too.
What should I do with a high score?
Burnout does not go away on its own: your workload, routine or conditions need to change. If it lasts more than a month or gets in the way of your life, see a psychologist or doctor.
How accurate is the test?
It is a self-check, not a diagnosis. The questions were developed by Soulmeter based on the three recognized sides of burnout; norms are preliminary and are refined as more people take the test.
