Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
Am I suffering from work addiction or is my work behavior still normal? The workaholic test from psychologists helps you gain clarity and recognize signs early.
This test can help you better understand your relationship with work and determine whether your workload is a healthy part of your life.
Please note that this test does not replace a professional diagnosis. If you have health concerns, please consult a specialist or therapist.
All questions refer to the last 14 days. Answer each question with a number from 1 to 5 (1 = Not at all, 5 = Very Strongly). Select your answer for each question and click "Evaluate" at the end.
1. Do you perceive relaxing activities as a waste of time?
2. Do your thoughts revolve around work even during your free time?
3. Do you rarely get to your hobbies because work takes priority?
4. Do you become restless when you're not working?
5. Do you spend more time working than with family or friends?
6. Do you regularly work significantly more than 40 hours per week?
7. Do you find it difficult to delegate work to others?
This online screening is not a diagnostic tool. Only a trained medical professional, such as a doctor or a psychiatrist or psychotherapist, can help you with the next steps.
This test is intended for anyone who wonders whether their work behavior is healthy or harmful to their well-being. It's ideal for people who frequently work overtime, prioritize work over relationships, or feel uncomfortable without work.
The workaholic test serves as self-reflection and initial orientation. It is not a scientifically validated diagnostic tool and does not replace professional counseling.
Use the test to identify possible behavior patterns and initiate changes in your daily life if necessary. For serious concerns, you should definitely consult an expert.
