What is Your Level of Empathy?
Empathy is when you care about others in both sadness and joy.
Empathy allows you to understand where another person is coming from even if you don’t agree with them. It bridges differences and opens communication with others. The world needs more empathic leaders, parents and people in every profession.
Just as intelligence can be measured with an IQ, your level of empathy can also be assessed with an Empathy Quotient (EQ).
Take the following quiz adapted from “The Empath’s Survival Guide” to determine your EQ.
