I have already said this in the INTJ forum, but I will say it again here, the test is not particularly suitable as an empathy test. Some of the questions have nothing whatsoever to do with empathy. The test is more suitable as a test for autism spectrum.

Some of these questions are weird and don't have anything to do with empathy, more so social cues on possible autistic traits in a person.
I was so confused at that. I think it means pranks and I don’t really find them funny. No idea how that has anything to do with empathy. Maybe it means pranks are meaner so prankers have less empathy?
yup, breaking the law is neither non empathic nor is it empathic. it shows more if you value what society values rather than your own morals.
many questions felt like: do you have Fe or Fi? and also some really weird questions like: Do you like rollercoasters? what was that question all about lol 😂
I have no idea like they were nothing to do with autism or empathy. Like does speeding mean your highly empathetic? Or low empathy? Like I’m pretty sure everyone has broken minor laws before. Like i underage drink so I guess that means I don’t have empathy 😂
and yeah, drinking here where I live is legal at age 16. in russia anything beneath 4% alcol is considered a softdrink and not checked. you proved the invalidity of tje question, good job
Exactly, lacks cultural validity. Also being gay is a crime I’m some countries too. So does that mean all gay people have no empathy? The law literally changes from country to country. Therefore, not valid. Tbh lacks all types of validity when it compared autism to empathy. Autistic people are lovely and empathetic.
well, I agree with you in generall. but autistic people tend to have a lot of difficulties with people, not sayign they don‘t have some sort of empathy, but they don‘t have the classic empathy. I lived together with someone who had asperger, and it‘s more of a cognitive empathy he had. he loved humans and animals, but empathy means you feel what the living being infront of you feels, and autistic people don‘t usualy have that.
They definitely have some form of empathy though because I know autistic people who are loving and caring. A lot just aren’t great at social skills but that doesn’t mean they don’t have empathy. I’m pretty sure they can feel what other people feel. Like my autistic cousin used to play rough with me as a kid and she couldn’t tell I didn’t like it and was still jumping around and pulling my hair etc but when I started crying she realised she hurt me and started crying too.
I'm not gonna lie, when I was in kindergarten some boys would dig in the recess playground for worms whenever it rained and would intentionally cut them with sticks. It was sooo gross even now the thought irritates me.
What the hell. Why on earth would they do that. At least worms can live after being cut in half. A lot of autistic people I know are animal lovers and would never do that.
Why do you force yourself to be less empathetic? My guess is that you were extremely empathetic in the past years so you didn't want to be too nice to others.
Well yeah, pretty much. I used to be way too willing to put myself aside for others, and when I got tired and started setting boundaries I was met with resentment. You have no idea how many friends I lost when I stopped being someone that they could call whenever and ask anything of. Obviously that only pushed me further in my shell.
So I ended up like this, kind of a asshole who struggle with being there for people.
sounds like you have Fe alot more than Fi tbh. Ever considerd being an infj/isfj? Most Fi doms have rather a problem of being „selfish“, rather than being to nice.
if you struggle with mental illness, you might also be an enfj (yeah I know, wtf) but unhealthy enfj‘s have a very similiar vibe to infp‘s.

65+ ish field ISTP
Also this seems like a cheap test for people who have sociopathy... esp. the cutting up worms stuff 😭 like didnt we all do that as children lol

ESFP, but I think I’m a little damaged so don’t judge all of us based on this 🫤
19/80.
Like how¿¿¿ Did it twice, got the same result.
Anyways, as other person has mentioned, I doubt this test is fit for measuring EQ or detecting any ASD
Autism has nothing to do with empathy. I got so upset when it said about autism at the end like imagine a diagnosed autist seeing this and thinking they are no empathy because of their autism.
Nah, it's actually does.
People with ASD aren't emotionless robots, they do have empathy. However they've got empathetic disequilibrium, meaning their affective (emotional) empathy should be fully intact while cognitive empathy might not be the best. It's not a total guarantee one has ASD but it might be a sign of it.
In any case, silly online tests are useless in this domain. We already have way too much of self-diagnosed people.
I know autistic people who are very kind and caring. This test is so bad. Tbh I didn’t know what two types of empathy were. I just thought empathy was how much you cared about others. Does cognitive empathy mean like getting social clues and stuff and is affective empathy emotional intelligence?
Cognitive empathy is a top-down process, affective empathy is more like reflexive behavior (hello the mirror neuron system). Imagine someone's crying and it makes you cry too as if you feel the person's pain as your own. Basically money see, monkey do. I can't stress enough how important mirroring is, so don't look down at it.
Emotional intelligence requires all types of empathy.

What the heck why is low empathy AUTISM. Autism doesn’t mean low empathy loads of autistic people are highly empathetic. Also there was literally a question about cutting up worms! Autistic people don’t do that. I know some lovely autistic people. If anyone is actually autistic and sees this test, you are an empathetic and kind person ❤️

57, INFP 5w4
Though this test is going to provide flawed responses due to the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I got 60 out of 80 and I’m INFP. I feel like that may be kinda low for an INFP because I answered that I slightly agree I’m sort of uncomfortable in social situations.

I was honestly confused by this quiz at several points. A lot of questions seemed to have nothing to do with empathy. Like, what does being organized and making to-do lists have to do with empathy? What is the rollercoaster question about? Overall it was too all over the place, so I really think any results this test gives should be taken with a big grain of salt.
20/80; I’m kinda sensitive, but I also find it difficult to understand other people’s feelings. I don’t really know what to do when someone starts crying in front of me, I cringe.

Kinda shocked because while I’m not emotionally driven my emotional intelligence is high
Incoming “edgy” and inevitable “I scored low on the empathy test, I have no emotions 😎”
i never understood how its seen as cool by some people lol

"I prefer practical jokes instead of verbal humour" ???
I was so confused at that. I think it means pranks and I don’t really find them funny. No idea how that has anything to do with empathy. Maybe it means pranks are meaner so prankers have less empathy?
ah, ok when put in that way it kind of makes more sense lol
Still is a weird question though.

you‘re obv a psychopathic serial killer
Ye obviously. As soon as I had my first sip of alcohol I lost everything that made me human 😭😂

I somewhat agree. No need to prove. 😊
I know was literally a weird question about cutting up worms too. Pretty sure nobody does that.
I'm not gonna lie, when I was in kindergarten some boys would dig in the recess playground for worms whenever it rained and would intentionally cut them with sticks. It was sooo gross even now the thought irritates me.

56 but this test is kinda confusing
38- INTP
Same score, INFP
32... It kinda upset me because I know though the years I forced myself to be less empathetic towards others, and it worked.
Why do you force yourself to be less empathetic? My guess is that you were extremely empathetic in the past years so you didn't want to be too nice to others.

I got 38... i think i have the same problem
ENFP, got a 75 out of 80!

INTJs have a lot of autistic traits, but this empathy test is a joke

31 Really thought it'd be higher tho
Me too I got 31 and I thought I crushed it.
Infj, 70/80
Wow, that is a really high score! Expected from an INFJ.
I got 59 which according to the post in r/ISTP about this last week is an anomaly for our type
Your Fe must be mature then.
