Quiz: How Empathetic Are You?

Take this 16 question quiz to see how you empathetic you are. The quiz in particular (The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire) focuses solely on the emotional side of empathy. This is incredibly important but not the entire story when it comes to empathy.

EMPATHY HAS TWO HALVES: THE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE TO OTHERS' SUFFERING AND ALSO THE PRACTICAL ACTION THAT RESPONDS APPROPRIATELY TO THE PERSON WHO IS SUFFERING.

The video below is a wonderful guide on how to best respond (and how not to) to a person who is suffering.

WHERE DO YOU MOST STRUGGLE IN ATTEMPTING TO SHOW EMPATHY TO THOSE AROUND YOU: IN THE FEELING OR IN THE ACTION?
