Interesting. Being on the autistic spectrum though is not the only reason to have low self esteem. You can start out in life happy and socially well adjusted and if your life turns to shit with most people surrounding hurting you then you can have less capacity to have empathy towards others and a lower self esteem.

Wow, that's high.
I was thinking that my score was kind of low (38) but I am seeing people here with much lower scores who never struck me as lacking empathy.
I would be interested to know what the average is though. It occurred to me that you can't assume that 40 is the average.
I felt a lot of those questions were about intuition rather than empathy. Or maybe they are kind of the same thing? I've always felt like I was really in tune with other people's feelings and seeing things through their perspective. I imagine that's where the 76 came from.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
