What this tool is

Know Your Limits is a free, anonymous burnout risk assessment designed to be fast and honest. It draws on established burnout research, in particular dimensions identified by occupational health psychologists. This test is not a medical diagnosis and should not replace professional advice.

Why I built this

This site was created to help people recognise early signs of burnout based on known indicators, and to guide them to seek help.

The science behind the test

Burnout is recognised by the World Health Organization as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress. Research in occupational health psychology has identified five core dimensions: exhaustion, mental distance from work, cognitive impairment, emotional impairment, and recovery and sleep quality which research consistently links to burnout risk.
