The Good Leader Institute™Back to assessmentsAssessments and measures
Research-grounded instruments for understanding burnout, optimism, proactive confidence, resilience, and workplace well-being.
Curated with care
Appropriateness depends on the purpose, population, and context, even when an instrument has been validated. This library distinguishes reflection from diagnosis, individual perceptions from team-level conclusions, and freely available measures from instruments that require a license.

The BAT-12 assesses four core burnout symptoms: exhaustion, mental distance, emotional impairment, and cognitive impairment.
The LOT-R measures dispositional optimism through generalized expectations about future outcomes.
RBSE measures confidence in carrying out proactive, integrative tasks that extend beyond a narrowly defined technical role.
The Wagnild and Young RS-25 measures individual resilience through strengths related to purpose, perseverance, self-reliance, equanimity, and existential aloneness.
The copyright owner states that the authorized RS-25 is not offered online and requires a licensing agreement. GLI does not reproduce the protected items.
The MBI is a family of occupation-specific burnout measures. Available forms assess dimensions such as exhaustion, cynicism or depersonalization, and professional efficacy or accomplishment.
Mind Garden prohibits placing MBI items on the open web. GLI does not reproduce the items, scoring keys, or forms.
PERMA+4 measures nine building blocks of well-being at work: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment, physical health, mindset, environment, and economic security.
The authors grant non-commercial use for research, teaching, and student work. Fee-based services, products, and training require a commercial license. Because GLI is a commercial enterprise, the protected items are not reproduced here.
These tools support reflection, research, and development. They should not be treated as stand-alone diagnoses or used by themselves for hiring, promotion, discipline, or other high-stakes decisions.
When administering a measure to a group, protect confidentiality, explain how the data will be used, and report results at a level that prevents identification of individual respondents.
