Your
Burn-Out Score
|
|
|
|
| More
about your Score:
If
your Score between 2 & 3, you are doing well. The only suggestion
we make is that you go over your score sheet to be sure you have
been honest in your responses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If
your score is between 3 & 4, it would be wise for you to examine
your work life, evaluate your priorities and consider possible changes. |
|
|
|
|
|
| If
your score is higher than 4, you are experiencing burnout to the extent
that it is mandatory that you do something about it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
score of higher than 5 indicates an acute state and a need for immediate
help. |
