Notes

Since the questionnaire relies on client self-report, all responses should be verified by the clinician, and a definitive diagnosis is made on clinical grounds taking into account how well the client understood the questionnaire, as well as other relevant information from the client.

The purpose of this assessment is to help individuals reduce work-related stress through increased self understanding and awareness. This assessment is meant to measure the risk of burnout, by identifying warning signs and is not meant to be used as a diagnostic tool.
