One way is:
Each scale captures a different component of empathy.
Fantasy measures the tendency to imaginatively transpose oneself into fictional situations.
Perspective taking measures the reported tendency to spontaneously adopt the psychological point of view of others in everyday life.
Empathic concern assesses the tendency to experience feelings of sympathy and compassion for others.
Personal distress taps the tendency to experience distress and discomfort in response to extreme distress in others.
While there are many more exciting and robust ways, this is a fairly straight-forward, quick and easy diagnostic tool.
