Career Change / Turnover Intention Test

An original 12-question read on your intention to leave your current job, across three stages: thoughts of leaving, active job-searching, and concrete exit planning.

12 questions 3 min

Instructions

Answer each statement about your current job situation as honestly as you can. There are no right answers — the goal is a clear read on where you stand right now.

Original items written for this test; the three-component structure (thoughts, search, plan) follows established turnover-intention theory but reproduces no copyrighted scale items.
