Is the Bandwidth Score a real burnout test?

It's a lifestyle self-check, not a clinical or diagnostic burnout test. It measures day-to-day load and recovery — sleep, total load (paid plus unpaid), joy, and body signals — not anxiety, depression, or any other condition. It is not the Maslach Burnout Inventory or any validated clinical instrument.

What counts as "total load"?

Everything that has to happen in a day: your paid job if you have one, plus the unpaid work — meals, kids, house, errands, and the mental to-do list of everyone's logistics. Total Load is weighted double in this score (40 of 100 points) because that unpaid second shift is real hours most burnout quizzes never count.

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. This tool never diagnoses anxiety, depression, burnout, or any other condition. It's an educational self-check only. If you're struggling, please talk with a doctor or licensed professional.

How is the score calculated?

12 quick questions across 4 areas — sleep, total load, joy, and body signals. Total Load counts for 40 of the 100 possible points, double any other single area, because it's the piece most burnout quizzes leave out. The 4 areas add up to your 0-100% Bandwidth Score.

How this score is calculated

4 areas, 12 questions. Sleep, Joy, and Body Signals are each worth 20 of 100 points. Total Load — your job (paid or not) plus everything unpaid: meals, kids, house, errands, the mental to-do list — is worth 40 of 100 points, double any other single area, because that unpaid second shift is real hours most burnout tests never count. This is a lifestyle construct we built, not the Maslach Burnout Inventory or any validated clinical instrument, and it is not measured against a population norm.
