This article reviews measures of empathy with a focus on the two most recent and widely used measures, the Hogan Empathy Scale and the Questionnaire Measure of Emotional Empathy (QMEE). The development and validity of each scale is discussed as well as the scales' relation to measures of personality and moral conduct and character. Although both the Hogan Empathy Scale and QMME have adequate validity, they seem to measure different aspects of empathy.
