What this is based on

The check-in and the full audit use the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (Kristensen et al., 2005), a validated instrument used in occupational health research, not a magazine quiz.

The remaining scales are drawn from published research on thriving, decentering and interpersonal mindfulness.
