According to my answers, I am more confident than 94% of the people who took that test. Which I'm not *always* confident, I do think that I am less afraid of failure than many of people, and generally confident of what I am doing.
However, this test, and a lot of other, has brought to mind an interesting point for me - the different between empathy and sympathy. I am generally really good at understanding what people are thinking and feeling. That doesn't necessarily make me any more inclined to *care*, nor does it make me more apt to be affected by their moods. The moods of people who are close to me *mean* more to me.
