Description

Abstract
This research provides a comprehensive view of scientific empathy among students at UTCN, utilizing the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire, a self-assessment tool with robust psychometric properties, administered to 98 respondents. The initial 8 questions gathered relevant socio-demographic data, while questions 9 to 24 included the TEQ scale.
The study revealed a significant relationship between empathy levels and certain career preferences. Careers in social, health, and education sectors tend to demand high empathy, whereas other fields may prioritize digital or technical skills.

Keywords: Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ), student empathy, career choice, education
