Personality and burnout
Is your personality making burnout worse?
There is some research that indicates certain personality types may be more prone to burnout than others.
The reality is that anyone can get burnout if the conditions are right and so we do not routinely test for personality type. You may already have done a Myers Briggs or similar - in which case you will already have some insights into your personality.However understanding one's personality a little bit better is no bad thing in general and this is why we include this test as it is one that show how it may relate to burnout.
For more detailed personality testing there are better and validated tools - but to quickly learn a bit about how your personality might influence burnout this very simple test below is ideal.
Our view is that personality may not be as relevant to every single person with burnout - but that it can affect
- the build up of burnout
- reactions to burnout
- the prolonging of the state of burnout
- the recovery and maintenance of burnout
...and so to understand this better gives an additional insight. If and when a burnout sufferer decides to join one of our programmes to reverse burnout we cover the individual integration of person and burnout in more details.
