Empathy Quotient

The Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a standardized questionnaire designed to measure how well a person can understand and respond to the feelings of others. It assesses empathy, which is the ability to feel, interpret, and share another person’s emotions. A higher EQ indicates greater sensitivity and responsiveness to others’ emotional states, facilitating better social interactions. The test is used in clinical and research settings to understand social functioning and emotional awareness, helping identify strengths and challenges in interpersonal relationships. It is not a measure of intelligence but specifically focused on emotional insight and social understanding.
