WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Workaholism Test

business work stress workaholism

This brief self-report measure screens for patterns of excessive work involvement and difficulty disengaging from work that may be associated with stress and impairment. The Workaholism Test is commonly used to support initial self-reflection and clinical discussion about work-related behaviors and their potential impact.

Developed by Bryan E. Robinson, it consists of 21 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Results are best interpreted as an indicator of possible concern rather than a diagnosis, and should be considered alongside clinical interview findings and relevant contextual factors. The Workaholism Test may help identify individuals who could benefit from further evaluation of occupational stress, boundaries, recovery time, and related mental health symptoms.
