Self-Assessment: Work Addiction
This free workaholic test is designed to help you identify key indicators of work addiction, including the cyclical patterns, signs and symptoms and whether overworking is constraining your life, or the life of a loved one. It is not intended as a clinical diagnostic tool.
Do I have a Problem with Work Addiction?
Work addiction, also known as workaholism or burnout, can have significant impacts on individuals’ careers, families, relationships, physical health and quality of life.
Often misunderstood, ‘workaholic’ actually describes people who feel compelled to work and derive their sense of self and self-worth from their work. The process of overworking may also allow us to avoid intimacy and connection with others. The questions below are designed to assist in raising your awareness if such issues exist for you.
As you read each statement, take your time to think about the answer before selecting the response which feels right. Only you will see the results of this test, so take this as an opportunity to be completely honest with yourself. Remember, minimising and denying behaviours and consequences is a symptom of work addiction.
If you’d rather undertake a free, confidential, tailored assessment over the phone — or would like to discuss your results — our team is available seven days a week on 1800 063 332 or contact us here.
All responses are protected by patient confidentiality. Your answers to individual questions will not be stored or saved.
