What work stress assessment measures

This assessment uses the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) framework to map your stress balance: the demands that drain you (workload, emotional labour, role conflict) versus the resources that buffer you (autonomy, support, feedback, development). The gap between the two predicts burnout risk.

Who it is for

Anyone who feels work stress is affecting their wellbeing, focus, or sleep. It is designed as an early-warning check — before symptoms become serious — and as a starting point for conversations with a manager or coach.

What the report includes

  • JD-R balance chart with demand and resource scores
  • Risk grade (green, amber, red) with interpretation
  • Two prioritised recommendations: one demand to reduce, one resource to strengthen

Is it accurate?

This assessment is grounded in a published psychological framework and uses public-domain or originally authored items as reliable proxies. It is a solid self-reflection tool — but it is not a clinical or diagnostic instrument.

What it cannot tell you

It cannot diagnose mental health conditions, predict job performance or relationship success, or tell you who to hire. For diagnosis or high-stakes decisions, consult a qualified professional.
