About Us

"Am I burnt out, or just tired?" It’s a question that whispers in the minds of millions. We're here to help you find the answer with clarity and compassion.

The Genesis of Burnouttest.org

It started with a simple question we heard everywhere: 'Am I burnt out or just lazy?' We saw a gap for an accessible tool that could offer a clear, science-backed first step. That's why we created Burnouttest.org—an anonymous platform built on established psychological principles like the MBI, designed to provide not just data, but actionable, AI-powered insights for real-world change.

An idea emerged from observing countless professionals wrestling with the line between stress and burnout, seeking a reliable first step.

June 2025 — Official Launch

Burnouttest.org went live, focusing on a seamless experience that offers an immediate, free summary to provide instant value and clarity.

September 2025 — AI-Powered Insights

We introduced optional, AI-driven reports, transforming scores into deep insights and actionable plans, while maintaining our non-diagnostic stance.
