The test has 60 questions. Please take it and report your results.

I just took it again and I scored 22/80.

There were some questions I would have answered differently many years ago.

Edit: A bonus question if anyone wants to answer. Would you consider yourself an empathetic person or not?
Self-report. Sixty questions might get to a few preconscious degrees of empathy, the learned super-ego and of that to only a shallow depth like everyday courtesies. But what of the need to retaliate for wrongs that you have secretly adjudicated, not to mention hurts for lost loved ones, how does empathy truly play to those heart strings after seasoning? You really recommend this self-report questionnaire on such an uncasual faculty? I have had no I won the lottery happiness, for example, how am I to empathize with some that keeps winning the lottery? Your questionnaire might help you answer here with a proper score or does it let you down?
