I waited 6 months for a clinical burnout assessment. When I finally got seen, the psychiatrist said burnout was unlikely — I'd been looking in the wrong direction for months. A faster first-pass tool would have helped. So I built one. Free, anonymous, 5 minutes. Based on the five-dimension framework clinicians use. You get a breakdown across exhaustion, mental distance, cognitive impairment, emotional impairment, and recovery — not just a single number. No signup, no data stored. 29 languages.
About a year ago I was struggling with exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, and just keeping up at work. My GP suspected I might have a burnout, and referred me to a psychiatrist at a burnout clinic. The waiting list was over 6 months, just to get assessed/rule it out.
When I finally got the appointment, the psychiatrist did a structured assessment /questionnaire on several dimensions and said my scores suggested burnout was actually unlikely to be the cause of my symptoms (later on I found out it was something else indeed). Anyway, I spent a lot of time thinking it might be burnout when I could have been looking into other possibilities.
So I built an assessment tool that is free and anonymous (actually no data is stored at all...), based on the same research framework psychiatrists use to make their tests (I have an academic research background) --> a multiple dimension model from occupational health psychology (exhaustion, mental distance, cognitive impairment, emotional impairment, recovery, etc.). It takes about 5 minutes and gives a breakdown across each dimension at the end.
To be clear: it's not a clinical diagnosis, etc. It's more of a structured 'first filter'. The goal is to help figure out whether burnout is really worth investigating further, or whether you may want to look elsewhere for the root causes.
I hope it's useful to someone here, and I'd really appreciate constructive feedback if anyone wants to help out. Thanks a lot.
