Are You An Empath? Take the Test!
Friends, do you believe you’re an empath? How much of an empath do you think you are? This quiz comes from a coach, who works with people, who have survived the abuse of narcissists. She obtained the quiz from a Judith Orloff book on empathy.
Record your “yes” or “no” answers on a sheet of notebook paper.
Empath Questions:
- Have you been labeled too sensitive, shy, or introverted?
2. Do you frequently get overwhelmed or anxious?
3. Do arguments or yelling make you feel ill or uncomfortable?
4. Do you often feel like you don’t fit in?
5. Do you feel drained by crowds and need alone time to revive yourself?
6. Are you over stimulated by noise, odors, or nonstop talkers?
7. Do you have chemical sensitivities or you can’t tolerate scratchy clothes?
8. Do you prefer taking your own car to places, so you can leave early, if you need to?
9. Do you overeat to cope with stress?
10. Are you afraid of becoming suffocated by an intimate relationship?
11. Do you startle easily?
12. Do you react strongly to caffeine or medications?
13. Do you have a low pain threshold?
14. Do you tend to back off in large crowds?
15. Do you absorb other people’s stress, emotions, or symptoms as if they were your own?
16. Do you feel overwhelmed by multi-tasking and prefer doing one thing at a time?
17. Do you replenish yourself in nature?
18. Do you need a long time to recuperate after being with difficult people or energy vampires?
19. Do you feel better in small cities or the country than in larger cities?
20. Do you prefer one-to-one interactions or small groups, rather than larger gatherings?
Four categories for what level of an empath you are:
If you said “yes” to 1-5 questions, you are partially an empath.
If you said “yes” to 6-10 questions, you have moderate empathic tendencies.
If you said “yes” to 11-15 questions, you have strong empathic tendencies.
If you said “yes” to more than 15, you are a full-blown empath!
I came out 14 or 15 (I have “sometimes” on one of the questions). Share your results, if you’d like!

No Questions Allowed!
During this whole coronavirus pandemic, it seemed nobody was allowed to ask any questions. Nobody was allowed to question anything the approved consensus said on how to protect yourself from Covid or any questions on the medical treatments hundreds of doctors and scientists had brought up throughout this mess.
Don’t ask anything, because if you do, you’re branded a Covidiot, anti-vaxer, conspiracy theorist, nut, etc., which is the antithesis of what a democratic republic/a country that believes in questioning everything and freedom of speech that has been valued in this country has believed since its inception.
However, on May 13, the CDC announced those who are vaccinated (cleared two weeks after receiving the shot) didn’t have to wear masks inside buildings anymore.
Immediately, there was push back from the people who have been following the CDC and other government entities, such as the FDA, NIH, as well as the WHO.
And a question came to me, as many have throughout this whole pandemic.
Why are those people who berated everyone to follow the CDC and other public health authorities without exception now thumbing their noses at at least one of these organizations?
It’s a valid and reasonable question that I doubt anybody has answered yet.
What I’ve seen with regard to this is ….
CRICKETS
So, I saw this Jimmy Dore Show video today, and I thank him for asking the same thing. More importantly, I thank excellent investigative reporter, Max Blumenthal, on what he says with regard to this subject. I believe he is spot on. Therefore, I’m sharing it here.
If this blog gets censured, it would be par for the course and prove my point on questioning anything on this subject. I’ve not said much at all about this pandemic since it started. But I can’t help but ask such questions. It’s common sense and not stupid to ask questions.
In reality, one should question everything and debate the issues with those who have the credentials to do so, i.e., doctors, scientists, etc. All should have been brought to the table on this, and every type of treatment should have been discussed and considered.
Historically in this country, we hardly ever learn from our errors. I’m not too confident we will this go around.
