- Are you able to accurately identify other people’s emotions;
- Are you emotionally involved or stay rational;
- Are you a calm and rational person in social interaction or a super communist body;
- Whether there is a tendency to empathetic disorder (such as Asperger, emotional dullness).

What is empathetic quotient?
Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a psychological measure used to measure a person’s empathy ability. It is not a traditional “emotional quotient”, but a more specific assessment of a person’s ability to understand, feel, and respond to other people’s emotions.
The emotional intelligence scale was proposed by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, a psychologist at the Autism Research Centre of Cambridge University in the UK, and was especially used to study the social function of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Professor Simon Baron-Cohen is an authoritative in the field of cognitive neuroscience and has been engaged in research on autism and empathy for a long time.
Empathy includes two aspects:
- Cognitive empathy: Can you understand other people’s thoughts and feelings rationally?
- Affective empathy: Can you react empathically to other people’s emotions?
The number of empathy qualities is usually measured by a set of questionnaires. The most common one is the EQ questionnaire (Empathy Quotient Questionnaire), which is divided into different versions:
- ** Adult version of empathy quotient **: 60 questions, 40 questions or 20 questions more simplified
- ** Children’s version of empathy quotient **: Parents fill in it
The emotional qualities scale, also known as the ** emotional qualities test table and the EQ scale**, is a standardized questionnaire scale used to measure individual empathy levels. The higher the result score of the Emotional Quotation Number Table Evaluation, the stronger the empathy ability.
The emotional quotient quantity table is commonly used in practice:
- Psychological Counseling and Clinical Screening (especially for identifying the autism spectrum)
- Education and HR selection (especially in service industries, medical care, education)
- Personal development tools (improving interpersonal sensitivity and emotional understanding)
Adult version of EQ EQ Scale (40 Question Version)
The adult version of the EQ scale provided by PsycTest is the 40-question version. This scale is the adult version of the EQ scale developed by the Autism Research Centre (ARC) of the University of Cambridge under the leadership of Professor Simon Baron-Cohen. It has high reliability and validity and is widely used in psychology research, mental disorder assessment, and social emotional ability measurement.
- Theoretical basis: Based on the ‘Theory of Mind’ and the ‘Empathizing-Systemizing theory’ proposed by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen.
- Applicable population: Adult population (can be used both non-clinical and clinically).
Features of EQ Scale 40 version:
