WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) Test

burnout

This measure is designed to assess core features of occupational burnout and related complaints. The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) is a self-report questionnaire intended to support screening and clinical formulation by characterizing symptom patterns associated with burnout.

It includes 33 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Content covers central dimensions commonly associated with burnout (e.g., exhaustion, cognitive and emotional dysregulation, and mental distancing), and may also capture associated secondary complaints such as psychological or somatic symptoms. Results from the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) should be interpreted in context of the individual’s work setting, clinical history, and other assessment information, and are not a standalone diagnostic determination.
