Are You an Empath? Here Are The Best Sites To Take an Empath Tests
Published January 30th, 2020
Are you easily affected by other people’s emotions? Does identifying people’s needs and wants, come naturally to you? Are you extremely sensitive to the emotional ambiance of your environment? If you answered “yes” to all these questions, then you might be an empath!
Merriam-Webster defines empathy as the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another despite it not being explicitly communicated.
Empaths usually form better and more meaningful relationships than most people. This is mainly due to their ability to sympathize with and understand others. They also tend to be very compassionate and insightful.
If you think you’re an empath and want to understand yourself better, here are the best sites to take an empath test.
Empath Test
With only seventeen questions, this site is perfect if you’re looking for an empath test you can answer in five minutes. The test questions are designed to measure you in several categories:
- healing abilities
- how you unconsciously mirror other people’s emotions
- if you’re logical or intuitive
- how you use your empathic protection tools
You are given five options to answer the questions ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The site’s algorithm will then calculate your score based on your answers. The higher your score is, the more likely you are to be an empath.
Your results will also explain what kind of empath you are. It also includes recommendations on how you can improve your empathy skills.
Psychologia
If you’re looking for an empath test based largely on psychological evidence, you should check out this site. It uses experiential examples to gauge your score on empathy.
The questions are based on the usual experiences of an empath. All you need to do is answer how often you’ve experienced such. From your answers, the site will then compute your empath score.
The results are divided into five categories with 80-100 being the highest and 0-14 being the lowest. Those who scored very high on the test are said to feel other people’s emotional state even before they speak. While those with low scores tend to have difficulty dealing with other people and usually don’t work well in a team.
Greater Good Magazine
Backed by three scientific studies, Greater Good Magazine’s online empath test offers perhaps the most accurate empath scale. Like Psychologia, it uses experiential questions. The answers can range from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
There are a total of 29 questions. Six of which will be used by their research team to understand how empathy is affected by factors such as gender and political orientation.
Your results will include an interpretation of your score and tips on strengthening your empathy skills.
Buzzfeed
Looking for a less academic approach to empath tests? Check out Buzzfeed’s!
Though the questions are similar to most empath tests online, they’re shown in large, colored texts. This also makes it perfect for those with vision problems.
The test can be finished in under five minutes. You can also retake it as much as you like. The results include a brief explanation of your empath abilities.
Psychology Today
One of the nation’s leading psychology magazine also developed its own empath test.
There are twenty questions answerable with “yes” or “no”. The number of positive answers determines your level of empathy. Answering “yes” to more than 15 questions means you’re a full-blown empath.
Numerology
If you’re into numerology and are curious about the kind of empath within you, this site’s empath test is the way to go. There are a dozen multiple-choice questions.
The results show the type of empath you are based on your answers. It also explains your “gift” and what you can do to make the most out of it.
The Minds Journal
Deviating from the norm, this site uses images to measure your level of empathy. Each of the 12 questions come with three images you can choose the answer from.
The best thing about this quiz is you don’t have to think. You answer based on your instinct and which image you can most relate to – making it perfect for overthinkers.
At the end of the day, these tests are just guides. Each one of us is unique, and you should never let an online quiz define the kind of person that you are. Empath or not, we should always practice compassion and kindness towards one another.
