Empathy Quotient Test
Reflect on how easily you understand and respond to other people's feelings.

This describes me: noticing emotional signals.
Test basis
Format: Empathy Quotient (Short). The score is calculated from your answers using the scale shown in the test, so answer based on your recent real experience rather than trying to choose a "right" result.
