WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Burnout Assessment Test, BAT

Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) Test

burnout

This measure is designed to assess core features of occupational burnout and related symptom burden. The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) is administered as a self-report questionnaire to support clinical screening and structured case formulation in work-related stress presentations.

It consists of 33 items and typically requires about 7 minutes to complete. Content focuses on key burnout dimensions such as exhaustion, cognitive and emotional dysregulation, and mental distancing from work, and also queries commonly associated secondary complaints (e.g., psychological distress and somatic symptoms). Scores are interpreted to estimate symptom severity and to guide decisions about monitoring, referral, and intervention planning; the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) is not intended to serve as a standalone diagnostic instrument.
