About BurnoutIQ
Better workforce decisions start with a clearer signal.
BurnoutIQ is a non-clinical workplace burnout screening and signal tool developed by Pivot Training & Development. It is designed to help individuals understand their own pattern and help organizations identify privacy-protected aggregate priorities for conversation, action, and follow-up measurement.
BurnoutIQ is not a clinical diagnostic instrument and should not be used to make individual medical, disability, fitness-for-duty, or employment decisions. The technical methodology documents the scoring rules, limitations, validation status, and organizational privacy standards.
Methodology guardrails
What BurnoutIQ is — and what it is not
The product is built to make workforce burnout patterns easier to discuss without overstating what a screening instrument can prove.
Instrument
45 scored items · 9 dimensions
BurnoutIQ measures three burnout symptom dimensions and six workplace-driver dimensions using original Pivot-authored items, plus three optional open-ended prompts.
Interpretation
Eight Pivot-authored archetypes
Archetypes are communication and triage aids that help explain patterns. They are not diagnoses, clinical categories, or peer-reviewed psychometric phenotypes.
Privacy
Individual results stay confidential
Organizational reporting is aggregate. Groups with fewer than five respondents are suppressed or combined with a larger reporting unit.
Validation
Transparent about what is known
BurnoutIQ is conceptually grounded in published burnout research, but it has not yet undergone peer-reviewed psychometric validation as an independent instrument.
From signal to action
BurnoutIQ separates symptoms from workplace drivers. Driver findings help leaders form intervention hypotheses; follow-up measurement helps determine whether the conditions changed over time. That is different from claiming a single workshop, manager action, or policy caused a specific outcome.

What drives the product
01
Evidence over hype
We distinguish published theory from Pivot-authored product decisions and state clearly where formal validation is still in progress.
02
Screen before you intervene
BurnoutIQ is designed to surface patterns and priorities before a team chooses an intervention. A screening signal is not a clinical diagnosis.
03
Protect individual privacy
Individual results stay confidential. Organizational leaders receive aggregate findings, with small groups suppressed to reduce re-identification risk.
04
Remeasure before you claim impact
Workplace-driver findings are intervention hypotheses. Follow-up measurement tests whether conditions changed without assuming that one action caused the change.
