What this test adds
Four separate areas—tasks, people, work conditions and days away from work—help organise examples for a manager, occupational health worker or clinician.
A small next step
For two weeks, note what took the most out of each workday and whether the same tiredness appeared on days off. Bring the examples to someone who can discuss work changes.
Questions people ask
Can this tell me whether I have burnout?
The WHO classifies burn-out as an occupational phenomenon, not a medical diagnosis; this self-check organises work-related sources of tiredness for discussion.
How is this different from your burnout patterns test?
That one asks what the tiredness looks like: energy, distance from the work, getting less done, rest that does not restore. This one asks where it comes from. Take that one if you want the shape of it, and this one if you already know you are tired.
Does it cover parental burnout or a relationship?
No. The idea this page is built on is defined only in relation to work, and its own source says it should not be applied to other areas of life. Every statement here is about a job, a shift, or a day off from one.
Tiredness turns up on my days off too. What does that mean?
Tiredness on days off may have factors outside work. Consider discussing persistent tiredness with a doctor; this result describes work-related answers only.
