Braving Through Burnout: Archetype Assessment

1. When facing overwhelming workload, your first instinct is to:

Take on even more tasks to prove your competence

Say yes to everything to avoid disappointing others

Push through alone without asking for help

Procrastinate and hope problems resolve themselves

Micromanage every detail to ensure nothing goes wrong

Just keep going regardless of personal cost

2. Your biggest fear about work is:

Making a mistake that reflects poorly on your abilities

Letting down your team or beneficiaries

Showing weakness or vulnerability

Confronting difficult situations or conflicts

Things falling apart when you're not in control

Not being able to handle whatever comes next

3. When colleagues praise your work, you typically:

Focus on what you could have done better

Feel temporary relief but worry about maintaining expectations

Downplay the achievement and redirect to the mission

Feel uncomfortable with the attention

Wonder what they don't see or understand

Feel briefly good but know it won't last

4. Your relationship with boundaries is:

Boundaries are for people who aren't committed enough

I want boundaries but feel guilty setting them

Boundaries are selfish when people need help

I avoid situations where I'd need to set boundaries

I set boundaries for others but not myself

Boundaries are a luxury I can't afford

5. When you feel exhausted, you:

Push harder to maintain your standards

Hide it so others don't worry or lose confidence

See it as weakness and power through

Withdraw and become less engaged

Become more rigid and controlling

Accept it as part of the job and keep going

6. Your inner critic most often says:

"That's not good enough, you can do better"

"Everyone is counting on you, don't let them down"

"If you don't do it, who will?"

"This is too hard, maybe later"

"If you want it done right, do it yourself"

"Just survive today, worry about tomorrow later"

7. Your approach to self-care is:

I'll take care of myself when I achieve my goals

I feel selfish taking time for myself

Self-care is secondary to serving others

I know I should but can't seem to prioritize it

I plan self-care but rarely follow through

What's self-care? I'm just trying to get by

8. When projects don't go as planned, you:

Blame yourself and work harder to fix everything

Worry about how it affects others and try to make it up

Take full responsibility and work alone to solve it

Hope someone else will handle it

Get frustrated that others didn't follow your plan

Adapt and keep moving forward
