About the Stress / Burnout Risk Screening

This quick Stress Test screens common burnout risk domains — exhaustion, cynicism/detachment, sleep problems, concentration, irritability, control and motivation. You rate 10 items on a 0–4 Likert scale; the tool sums to 0–40 and classifies a Low / Moderate / High risk band.

Use the same 2-week timeframe when you re-check to track trends over time. Results include mini-scores for Exhaustion, Detachment/Cynicism, and Performance impact (sleep & concentration) to highlight where stress affects you most.

Educational only — not a diagnosis or treatment plan. If you’re worried about your mental health, talk to a qualified professional. If you have urgent safety concerns, contact local emergency services.

FAQ

  • How is the score calculated?
    You rate 10 statements from 0 (Never) to 4 (Very often). Scores sum to 0–40 with risk bands: Low (0–13), Moderate (14–26), High (27–40).
  • What timeframe should I use?
    Reflect on the past 2 weeks. Re-use the same window when you repeat the screening for trend comparison.
  • What do the domain mini-scores mean?
    They show where stress concentrates: Exhaustion, Detachment/Cynicism, and Performance impact (sleep & concentration).
  • Is this a medical or psychological diagnosis?
    No — it’s an educational screener inspired by common stress/burnout domains. For assessment or treatment, consult a professional.
  • What are typical signs of burnout risk?
    Persistent exhaustion, sleep disruption, decreased motivation, cynicism/detachment, impaired focus, irritability, and physical tension.
  • How often should I re-check my stress level?
    Many people re-screen monthly or after workload/life changes. Track trends rather than a single score.
  • How can I lower my stress/burnout risk?
    Sleep consistency, movement breaks, boundary setting, priority review, focused work blocks (time-boxing), social support, and talking with a professional.
  • Can poor sleep raise my score?
    Yes. Sleep issues often increase exhaustion and performance impact (focus, memory), which can elevate the overall score.
  • Does workplace load or lack of control matter?
    Yes. High demands, low control and poor recovery time are common drivers of detachment/cynicism and higher scores.
  • What should I do if I’m in the High band?
    Consider discussing options with a qualified clinician and adjusting workload, boundaries and recovery routines. Seek urgent help for safety concerns.
