Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and Personal Accomplishment (PA) Subscale Test Information Functions (TIF) Relative to US Physician Sample Score Distribution ^a.^a(I∣θ) of 3.33, 10, and 20 is approximately equal to 0.70, 0.90, and 0.95 reliability, respectively. θ refers to the underlying metric for each MBI subscale and corresponds with IRT z-scores. US physicians’ z-scores are distributed from − 2.51 to 2.51, − 1.52 to 3.05, and − 3.51 to 1.62, on the EE, DP, and PA subscales, respectively
