Welcome to the Career Depression Quiz

Career depression typically results from being in the wrong job/career that is under-using your greatest natural abilities.

The self-test below is based on the work of Friedland and Marcus, who have outlined 3 stages of career depression:

Stage 1: Career Dissatisfaction
Stage 2: Career Demotivation
Stage 3: Career Paralysis
