Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure assesses emotional responsiveness to others’ experiences. The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) focuses primarily on the affective component of empathy rather than cognitive perspective-taking.
It consists of 16 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate how often they experience emotionally resonant reactions to other people’s feelings; results are commonly used in research and clinical screening contexts where empathy-related functioning is of interest. The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) is not a standalone diagnostic tool and should be interpreted alongside clinical history and other assessment data.
