About the methodology
The concept of emotional burnout was first described by psychiatrist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974. Later, Christina Maslach and Susan Jackson formalized the three-factor model, creating the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the most widely cited burnout assessment tool worldwide.
The model has been validated in thousands of studies across the globe and is applied in organizational psychology, HR management, and employee assistance programs.
The ILO and WHO recognize burnout as an occupational phenomenon (ICD-11, code QD85). This test adapts the principles of the three-factor model for a quick self-assessment of your current emotional state.
