Note on interpretation: The EQ-40 is a self-report measure. Scores can be influenced by current mood, stress, or burnout. It measures one model of empathy and should be read alongside other information. A score below 30 does not constitute a clinical finding in a non-clinical context. These results are for personal reflection and development purposes only.
