Compassion to Others Questionnaire
At Balanced Minds we’re interested in compassion, and in the idea of the flows of compassion – to others, from others and to ourselves. Recent research has found that when we’re compassionate to others, this is associated with a variety of psychological benefits, including lower levels of anxiety and depression, and also high levels of happiness and wellbeing.
But when it comes to giving compassion to others, how able are you to do this? Do you see yourself as a compassionate person?
If you’d like to learn more about this, take our short test to find out!

This questionnaire is based upon the Compassion Engagement and Action Scale (Gilbert et al. 2017, “The development of compassionate engagement and action scales for self and others.” Journal of Compassionate Health Care 4.1, 1-24).

Your scores are in the LOW range
Well done for completing this questionnaire. Your scores were in the lower range, which might suggest that you find it hard to be compassionate to other people. Although lots of people struggle with this, we know that lower levels of compassion for others tend to be associated with less happiness and well being in life, and sometimes to higher levels of shame, self-criticism and psychological distress.It might be helpful to consider ways to increase your compassion for others, and we’ve got some options that might be helpful:
