TODAY’S EPISODE

Are You an Empath? We replay one of our fan favorite episodes!  The 20 Question Self-Assessment Test by Dr. Judith Orloff, author of The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People. Notice which questions below are a YES!

  1. Have I been labeled as “overly sensitive,” shy, or introverted?
  2. Do I frequently get overwhelmed or anxious?
  3. Do arguments or yelling make me ill?
  4. Do I often feel like I don’t fit in?
  5. Am I drained by crowds and need alone time to revive myself?
  6. Am I over stimulated by noise, odors, or non-stop talkers?
  7. Do I have chemical sensitivities or can’t tolerate scratchy clothes?
  8. Do I prefer taking my own car places so I can leave early if I need to? 
  9. Do I overeat to cope with stress?
  10. Am I afraid of becoming suffocated by intimate relationships?
  11. Do I startle easily?
  12. Do I react strongly to caffeine or medications?
  13. Do I have a low pain threshold?
  14. Do I tend to socially isolate?
  15. Do I absorb other people’s stress, emotions, or symptoms?
  16. Am I overwhelmed by multitasking and prefer doing one thing at a time?
  17. Do I replenish myself in nature?
  18. Do I need a long time to recuperate after being with difficult people or energy vampires?
  19. Do I feel better in small cities or the country than large cities?
  20. Do I prefer one-to-one interactions or small groups rather than large gatherings?

To calculate your results:

  • If you answered yes to 1 - 5 questions, you’re at least partially an empath.
  • Responding yes to 6 - 10 questions means you have moderate empathic tendencies.
  • Responding yes to 11-15 means you have strong empathic tendencies.
  • Answering yes to more than15 questions means that you are a full blown empath.
