Burnout is a work related pattern of emotional fatigue, growing detachment from people, and a reduced sense of impact. It helps you decide when to adjust workload and recovery so fatigue does not become your normal.

The assessment reflects how often recent statements felt true and turns them into three signals you can compare over time. You provide quick frequency choices and you receive totals for emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment with plain bands.

Results highlight the areas that carry the load and the ones that protect you, so the next step is easier to choose. For example, higher exhaustion with moderate detachment and moderate accomplishment suggests tightening workload limits and adding short recovery blocks.

Self report can drift with mood and context, so read patterns across several days if you can. Use consistent conditions when you repeat it and avoid doing it right after an unusually stressful day.

This tool provides informational estimates and does not substitute professional advice. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis.

Technical Details:

The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) models three related experiences: Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and Personal Accomplishment (PA). The inputs are 22 frequency ratings from 0 to 6 that summarize the past month as a snapshot.

Each domain score is the sum of its items. Higher EE and DP increase burnout risk, while higher PA is protective. Domain bands are mapped from totals, then a combined rule classifies overall risk as low, moderate, or high.

In practice, values near a band edge merit caution because small day to day changes can cross a boundary. Comparisons are most useful within the same person under similar conditions.

sEE = ∑i∈EEvi sDP = ∑i∈DPvi sPA = ∑i∈PAvi
Symbol Meaning Unit/Datatype Source
vi Response value for item i integer 0–6 Input
sEE Total Emotional Exhaustion 0–54 Derived
sDP Total Depersonalization 0–30 Derived
sPA Total Personal Accomplishment 0–48 Derived
Worked example. Suppose nine EE items are all 3 so sEE = 27, five DP items are all 2 so sDP = 10, and eight PA items are 4,4,4,5,4,5,4,5 so sPA = 35. EE maps to High, DP to Moderate, PA to Moderate, so overall classification is Moderate Risk.
Domain Low Moderate High Interpretation
Emotional Exhaustion (EE) ≤ 16 17–26 ≥ 27 Higher values increase burnout risk.
Depersonalization (DP) ≤ 6 7–12 ≥ 13 Higher values increase burnout risk.
Personal Accomplishment (PA) ≤ 31 32–38 ≥ 39 Higher values are protective.

Overall classification is computed from the three bands using this rule: if EE and DP are High, or if EE is High and PA is Low, or if DP is High and PA is Low, the result is High Burnout Risk; if all three are clearly favorable (EE Low, DP Low, PA High) the result is Low Burnout Risk; otherwise it is Moderate Risk.

Units, precision, and rounding. All scores are integers. Percent bars are clamped to 0–100 and rounded to the nearest whole number. Decimal separators are not used.

Networking and storage. Processing is client only. Responses can be encoded into a URL parameter r to revisit or share without server storage.

Performance and determinism. Computation is linear in the 22 items and uses constant memory. Given the same inputs, results are identical.

Security considerations. Inputs are numeric selections and a validated share code. Avoid pasting untrusted text into notes you share alongside results.

Assumptions & limitations

  • Self report reflects the past month and may vary with context.
  • All items carry equal weight; no item weighting is applied.
  • Bands are fixed thresholds; they do not adapt to roles or industries.
  • Overall risk is rule based, not a probability model.
  • Heads‑up Valid structure does not confirm any diagnosis.
  • Comparisons across people can be misleading without shared context.
  • Single observations are less reliable than repeated patterns.
  • High PA can offset strain but not eliminate it.

Edge cases & error sources

  • Unanswered items keep results hidden until all 22 are complete.
  • Share code with wrong length or characters is ignored.
  • Selections changed after copying a code no longer match that code.
  • Values at band edges can flip classification with small changes.
  • Using different times of day can shift responses.
  • Extremely uniform answers may mask distinct drivers.
  • Copy or download failures can occur if clipboard or downloads are blocked.
  • Large zoom settings can clip long question text in narrow windows.
  • Very small screens can require scrolling to view scores.
  • Browser extensions that alter pages can disrupt layout.

Step‑by‑Step Guide:

Burnout domains and their bands are summarized from simple frequency choices.

  1. Select how often each statement felt true in the past month 22 items.
  2. Review the live progress bar until it reaches 100%.
  3. Read the three domain totals and bands, then the overall classification.
  4. Scan highlights and suggested next steps for practical actions.
  5. Copy or download your answers if you need a record.
  6. Optionally use the share code to reopen the same responses later.
Example. If EE 29, DP 14, PA 28, the bands are EE High, DP High, PA Low, so the overall result is High Burnout Risk.
  • Answer in a calm moment for more stable results.
  • Use the same time of day when you repeat it.

Finish by choosing one small change to test this week.

FAQ:

Is my data stored?

No server storage is used. Responses are processed in your browser and can be encoded into an optional share code in the page address.

Avoid sharing sensitive notes with the code if privacy is a concern.
How accurate is this?

It applies fixed thresholds to your totals and a simple rule for the combined result. Treat it as a guide to discuss workload and recovery, not a diagnosis.

What do the scores mean?

Higher Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization increase risk. Higher Personal Accomplishment helps buffer strain. Bands translate totals into plain categories.

Can I use different units or formats?

Inputs are fixed choices from Never to Daily mapped to integers 0 to 6. Scores are integer sums; there are no decimals to format.

Does it work without a connection?

Computation runs locally. Availability without a connection depends on your device and whether the page and assets are already present.

How can I share my results?

Use the generated address that includes the share code. Anyone with that address will see the same selections and scores.

What does “borderline” mean?

Scores near a band edge can shift with small changes. Repeat on another day and look for consistent patterns before making decisions.

Troubleshooting:

  • No results shown: complete all 22 items.
  • Share code does nothing: check it has exactly 22 characters of 0–6 or dashes.
  • Copy fails: allow clipboard access in your browser.
  • Download fails: allow file downloads for this site.
  • Numbers look odd: confirm you did not mix up answers.
  • Chart missing: resize the window to trigger a redraw.

Advanced Tips:

Repeat weekly at the same time to build a trend.

Note one task you will drop or delegate after reviewing results.

Pair results with brief sleep and activity notes for context.

When PA is strong, anchor work around strengths to protect it.

When EE leads, move the hardest task to your highest energy hour.

When DP rises, add short debriefs or gratitude notes to reconnect.
