This is a research-informed reflection tool for adult interpreters and students with placement experience. Its original questions and result bands have not yet been validated with interpreters. It does not diagnose injury, burnout or trauma, predict career longevity, or determine fitness to work.
Think about the past four weeks. Select how often each statement fit your experience. If you did not interpret or a situation did not apply, choose “Not applicable.” You can skip any item or stop at any time.
No name or email is required to take the assessment or see your quick summary. Answers stay in this open app session unless you choose to email yourself the full report. Refreshing or closing the page clears them; there is no saved assessment history for this version. Read the privacy details.
Not currently interpreting? You can still explore, but unanswered work areas cannot be assessed. See the questions and research.
Support is available at any score
If physical symptoms persist, worsen or interfere with daily activities, contact a qualified healthcare professional. This assessment cannot rule out an injury.
If distress is persistent or disruptive, consider a qualified mental-health professional. You never need to reach a particular score to ask for support.
If you feel unsafe or are in crisis in the US, call or text 988, or use 988 chat or ASL videophone. Outside the US, use your local crisis service. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
This app and its feedback form are not monitored for emergencies.
