About Empathy Meter
Empathy Meter is a self-reflection tool that helps students explore how they listen, understand and care for others, both face to face and online.
Two moments to reflect
Reflect once before taking part in empathy-building activities and once after. Compare your two profiles and talk about what you notice with a teacher or someone you trust.
Five dimensions
Emotional Awareness
Name your feelings and notice the emotions around you.
Kindness and Support
Make space for others through small, thoughtful actions.
Perspective-Taking
Pause and see a situation through someone else’s eyes.
Communication
Listen with care and help people feel understood.
Digital Empathy
Bring kindness and respect into your online world.
A starting point for conversation
There are no right or wrong answers. This is not a test, a school grade or a diagnosis. Your profile describes how you see yourself today, not a fixed label.
Your reflection stays with you
No account is needed. New responses and results stay in your own browser and are not sent to our server. Use the same browser and device for both reflections.
