Empathy Quotient

42, as with some above, I'd maybe have expected a little higher, but tended towards the middle ground rather than strong answers.
 
21/80 but its to be expected from me! :D

I love the..............

"Scores of 30 or less indicate a lack of empathy common in people with Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome." <<<<< I don't give a flying fig. :p

Then again I like being around people and feel that I am naturally quite empathetic and sensitive to others. But I'm surprised my score is so low, I thought it would have been higher! Maybe I was too moderate in some of my answers instead of "strongly" agreeing/disagreeing.

I agree - maybe the test should be scored 1 - 10 rather than 4 exact answers
 
61/80.

Like many others (on these forums) I class myself as an incredibly logical thinker, but these two questions are what really bring out the empathy in me:

22. I find it easy to put myself in somebody else’s shoes.
60. I can usually appreciate the other person’s viewpoint, even if I don’t agree with it.

Again, being logical about it I can usually understand someone's point of view by following their reasoning in a logical fashion.

There's usually a missing piece of information, or something misunderstood that results in a different viewpoint. But I suppose it's just as important that I WANT to put yourself in someone elses shoes to understand where they're coming from.

If you don't have that, then you're probably not going to be that empathetic :)

You know you can be both, right? Hence why this kind of test has a broad scale in the scoring.

Probably the best kind of balance is being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes, but also have the kind of mindset to stay logical through any extreme.

Yeah what? This isnt about being emotional, its about reading other peoples emotions.

I'm extremely logical, like Spock and Data are my idols.
 
Got both my sisters to do this and the results were unsurprising lol.

The one that told a parking warden he should go to jail got 41, the one who can be an emotional wreck got 71.
 
Low empathy is related to people not giving a **** about other people, its pretty simple when you think about it.

To empathise...

"understand and share the feelings of another."

F`em we all been through the meat grinder some time in our lives so deal with it. :D
