Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to assess occupational burnout symptoms across common work-related domains. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is widely used in clinical and organizational contexts to support screening, case formulation, and monitoring of burnout-related concerns.
The instrument includes 22 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items evaluate three core dimensions often associated with burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization/cynicism, and reduced personal accomplishment. Scores are generally interpreted at the subscale level to characterize the pattern and relative severity of burnout indicators.
Developed by C. Maslach and S. E. Jackson, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is intended to inform clinical understanding and guide follow-up as appropriate (e.g., further assessment, workplace-focused intervention planning, or tracking change over time), rather than serve as a standalone diagnostic tool.
