What it measures

The Job Burnout Test (JBT-16), based on the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, looks at burnout and engagement through two balanced lenses.

  • Exhaustion

    Physical and emotional depletion from sustained job demands.

  • Disengagement

    How detached, cynical, or withdrawn you feel from your work.

  • Engagement signals

    Where motivation and energy remain strong so you can protect them.

How it works

  1. Answer 16 questions split across exhaustion and disengagement.
  2. Get two scores plus an overall burnout and engagement snapshot.
  3. Use recommendations to rebalance energy and reconnect with work.
