Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is used to assess occupational burnout symptoms in work-related contexts. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) includes 22 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete.
It evaluates three commonly assessed domains: Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization (or Cynicism), and reduced Personal Accomplishment. Scores are interpreted to characterize the respondent’s pattern of burnout-related experiences and to support clinical formulation, supervision, or organizational monitoring when used with appropriate safeguards. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was developed by S. E. Jackson and C. Maslach.
