10–18 points

Emotion speaks for you.

You are probably tired, but you are not yet ready to leave. Try first talking to your manager, taking more breaks, or changing your work style.

19–26 points

You are at a crossroads.

Don't rush with your resignation. First clarify what exactly you are looking for, because you may change employers but not the problem.

27–34 points

You are ready to look around.

Your reasons now seem structural – lack of development, perspective, or meaning. Start applying, but don't leave without a next plan.

35–40 points

It's time for the next chapter.

Your decision seems conscious, not impulsive. The most important thing now is to move towards something better, not just away from the current situation.

One last question

After seeing your result, answer only with "yes" or "no":

If you receive a call for a new job tomorrow, would you accept?

Sometimes this answer says more than all the others. It is not a guarantee that you should leave, but it may show whether you are already looking to the future or still reacting to the current emotion.
