Our paper prototype and research member Jessica Cheng has created a chart to document and compare tools in measuring empathy. This instrument table demonstrates the different tools and measurements that are utilized to measure empathy. Because empathy is a complex, multifaceted trait, it is often measured through surveys. There have been different forms of the surveys that range from being situational based in order to detect levels of empathy based on resolution choices to the division of empathy in attempts for categorization.
