Burnout Self-Reflection Test
A self-reflection tool — Reilika Nestor
Before you begin
Burnout does not usually happen overnight. It often develops gradually — when a person has been giving more than they have been able to restore through rest, support, meaning or recovery.
This questionnaire is not designed to judge you. It is designed to help you notice how you are really doing — in your body, emotions, workload and relationship with yourself.

Important to know
This questionnaire is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis or medical assessment. It does not replace an appointment with a psychologist, psychiatrist or physician.
The questionnaire was created by Reilika Nestor, a trainee in systemic family therapy who works under supervision. If you feel that your exhaustion is long-lasting or significantly affecting your daily life, I encourage you to seek support from a licensed professional.

How to answer
Answer according to how things really are for you right now — not how you wish they were. The questionnaire has four modules.
Module 1 / 4
Module 2 / 4
Module 3 / 4
Module 4 / 4
Module 1 / 4 — Body and energy
The body often speaks before the mind is ready to admit what is happening. Take a moment to notice what your body may be telling you right now.
0 – Not at all 1 – Rarely 2 – Sometimes 3 – Often 4 – Almost always
Module 2 / 4 — Emotions and inner world
Emotions are not a sign of weakness. They are information. The only question is what they may be trying to show you right now.
0 – Not at all 1 – Rarely 2 – Sometimes 3 – Often 4 – Almost always
Module 3 / 4 — Work, responsibilities and thinking
Burnout is not only about work. It can affect everything you have to do — and sometimes even the things you used to want to do.
0 – Not at all 1 – Rarely 2 – Sometimes 3 – Often 4 – Almost always
Module 4 / 4 — Relationships and connection with yourself
We often notice exhaustion last in our relationships and in our connection with ourselves. And yet that is often where the most important information lives.
0 – Not at all 1 – Rarely 2 – Sometimes 3 – Often 4 – Almost always
