Who is more empathetic e.g., better able to recognize pain in a person’s face, a professional industrial hygienist, or a professional historian?
Empathy is highly complex (see Wikipedia1) but its simplest meaning is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing. A person’s empathy capacity may be partly determined by Empathy Quotient (EQ) scores. Reference 2 is one example of an EQ scoring method.
