Career Enmeshment Test
Lost yourself in work? Rediscover who you are outside of it.
When your career becomes your identity, every setback feels personal. This quick test will help you see how enmeshed you've become—and what to reclaim.
What your results reveal about your identity
Your enmeshment profile shows how much your work has merged with your sense of self—and gives you concrete ways to create boundaries that protect your whole identity.
- See your enmeshment level on a spectrum with plain-language guidance.
- Break down identity signals across beliefs, behaviors, and emotional cues.
- Get reflection prompts and next actions to reclaim space outside of work.
How it works
For professionals in high-pressure careers, the line between who you are and what you do can blur — sometimes to the point where it's hard to tell the difference. This three-minute test will help you assess how closely your sense of self is tied to your work and whether it's holding you back.
Why it matters: When work becomes everything, every setback feels catastrophic. You lose perspective, relationships suffer, and life outside the office starts to disappear. This test reveals where those boundaries have eroded — so you can start rebuilding them.
What you'll learn: Your results show your enmeshment level (from healthy separation to high enmeshment) and break down the specific ways work has taken over. You'll get concrete steps to reclaim parts of yourself that have nothing to do with your job title.
Based on research in work-identity enmeshment and career psychology.
