I am basically happy and agree with the results of this quiz! It suggests that I show signs of possible burnout but am, in general, pleased with my work performance and getting along with others on the job. Here is how they say it..............

Your score indicates that you have some signs of burnout.
People who score in this range are fairly happy and well balanced people. They are normally full of energy and are able to meet the demands of daily life. They are often able to manage stress. They are usually able to set realistic and attainable goals. They are able to stay positive about their work and future. They usually are able to relax and enjoy their down time. More often than not, they are capable of separating work life and home life.

Typically, people who score in this range are able to control and recognize their feelings and act upon them appropriately. They usually learn from their mistakes. They generally have compassion and respect for other people. They are able to get along with their coworkers and enjoy being part of a team.

In general, those who score in this area are able to control their workload and do their work to the best of their abilities. They know what is expected of them and live up to those expectations.

However, if you've scored in this range, you do have some potential of burnout. Please remember to do the following for yourself: set realistic work goals, take time for yourself, exercise, change jobs, read books about beating burnout, join a support group, keep a journal, take up a hobby, spend quality time with your family, defeat negative thoughts, becoming active in your church, synagogue, or other community activity and, most importantly, learn how to say no. If you do these things, we have no doubt you will continue to thrive!
