How empathetic are you?

The Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a 60-item questionnaire designed to measure empathy in adults. The test was developed by Simon Baron-Cohen at ARC (the Autism Research Centre) at the University of Cambridge.
Clinically, the empathy measurements provided by the EQ are used by mental health professionals in assessing the level of social impairment in certain disorders like Autism. However, since levels of empathy vary significantly between individuals, even between those without any mental health disorders, it is also suitable for use as a casual measure of temperamental empathy by and for the general population.

The test might work if you trick the subject that they are being tested for something else but if you know it's a test for empathy you can fudge the results as to how you see yourself and less to how you really are.
