The authors reviewed 12 studies using the Counselor Burnout Inventory, including the results from their original, large‐sample study of school counselors ( N = 1,005). Aggregated internal consistency (coefficient alpha) was .90 ( N = 1,708), and subscale alphas ranged from .73 to .86 ( N = 2,809). Test–retest reliability was .81 ( N = 18; k = 1), with subscale test–retest reliability estimates ranging from .72 to .85. Convergent comparisons were robust across 10 instruments. Structural validity indicated a 5‐factor solution and an adequate to good fit of the model to the current study's data.
