Empathy Quiz

[Anaesthesine]

A study involving 14,000 American college students shows that this generation is far less attuned to the emotions of others than any previous generation:

Interesting, although I'm not going to pass judgement, since all the college-age kids I know are exemplary individuals.


Take the empathy test here:

I scored a 64.3. Apparently, I have a higher level of empathy than 90% of the people who participated in the test.

I got a 61 (80%). However, the test is really bad. The questions prompt you to answer them in a certain way. You're probably not as empathetic as you think.

It would be better to come at people indirectly. Maybe something like the Voigt-Kampff test in "Blade Runner".

Oh, I can be quite heartless.

I agree, the test is flawed; what makes it interesting is that this is apparently the same test administered to the college kids. Imagine getting such dire results.

Let me tell you about my mother...

I got 50.
I think its because I didn't answer any of the questions in the first or fifth column. I tried to be realistic about how empathetic I am vs. how empathetic I wish I was.
