Updated, 04/30/09: I think it is inborn and also is not; I believe the empathic ability exists as the point by which things are perceived. So just being aware, conscious and alive we are an empath. I also think that as individuals we are born with different empathic abilities. However, we are alive, and I think that means we are still developing or can learn empath skills, as it has been discovered or it appears that the brain can be rewired.
I Think this test IS limited and I don't think it shows all your empathic abilities. I think you could be very empathic in areas that are not even listed here. Not to mention that the types listed are based on a certain point and/or from a certain perspective. Never the less I think it could help me see similarities I have with others at a given time at least. Or it maybe you could see an area that you want to be more open to by seeing what the score is.
When doing this quiz just be honest. While what it says you are may not be what you are, if your honest and others are too you will be able to see similarities between yourself and others because it is based on answers you honestly give in response to questions. For now try it it could be fun.

I took the quiz, and it seems I'm not much of an Empath at all! Here are my results:

Is it possible to develop ones empathic side?
I joined the group because I love Marshall Rosenbergs stuff and Nonviolent Communication. I'd love to be more empathic, but is it something that is inborn?
Yes that's a good point, it almost surely would be at least a little different.
I'm with your thoughts on that Rawzi, I agree. At least being a child could be an advantage or at least to development of empathic skills in some way. Thanks for posting

I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...
It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
