Empathy Test

This test helps you assess your tendency toward empathy: the ability to notice other people’s emotions and experiences, understand their state and feel with them.

It touches on many situations where empathy shows, from how you react to a sad story or a stranger’s face to your attitude toward animals, older people and those who are ill.

The test is based on I. Yusupov’s method for assessing empathic tendencies, a questionnaire for measuring how strongly a person tends to feel with others.

The statements describe attitudes and reactions, and how often each applies to you adds up into one overall measure. Some items serve as a sincerity check and do not count. The app shortens the questionnaire and adapts the wording for people of different ages while keeping the structure and scoring principles.

You read each statement and choose how often it is true for you, from never to always.

After completing the test you receive an overall level of empathy, from very low to very high, with the balanced range marked, together with a short definition of empathy and a description of how your level tends to show up: in reading emotions, supporting others and keeping your own boundaries.

The result helps you see whether you would benefit from more attention to other people’s feelings or, on the contrary, from protecting your own energy, and can be supplemented with personalized AI analysis in the Who Am I? app.
