Empathy Tendencies Test — IPIP

A layered editorial portrait representing the many sides of one personality — A visual previewEmotional Intelligence

A focused 10-item public-domain IPIP scale describing how readily you emotionally resonate with other people's feelings and difficulties.

This assessment preserves the 10 items and scoring direction of the preliminary public-domain IPIP Empathy Tendencies scale measuring a construct similar to the corresponding JPI-R scale.

The official IPIP key reports coefficient alpha 0.80 for this scale. Reliability describes consistency in the reported source sample; it does not provide a personal accuracy percentage or population norm.

Inward Atlas presents the scale as a focused self-reflection product with plain-language result bands. It is labeled Level B because the consumer presentation and interpretation are product adaptations, not a new validation study.
