It also depends on your mood.
I feel that if I was having a bad day I could easily get a 10 or 20 out of 80 in a practical application.
I've had fairly bad depression in the past and that can be a very selfish disorder where at certain times I would have been 0/80.
I could be wrong, but I feel certain I've seen Hammy show more than 3/80 empathy towards others here.
I also feel that empathy can be learned and unlearned, and not always overall but in certain situations.
And I think empathy is widely faked by people who then use it as a tool to judge others who don't fake it as well as they do.
So I went into that test thinking I would score high but I think I answered the questions honestly.
Did any of you who scored low think that you would before you started the test?
