	this is a completely semantic argument but you seem to be the one who has it backwards, and the links you provided even seem to agree with me: "Sympathy and empathy are closely related words, bound by shared origins and the similar circumstances in which each is applicable, yet they are not synonymous. For one thing, sympathy is considerably older than empathy, having existed in our language for several hundred years before its cousin was introduced, and its greater age is reflected in a wider breadth of meaning. Sympathy may refer to "feelings of loyalty" or "unity or harmony in action or effect," meanings not shared by empathy. In the contexts where the two words do overlap, sympathy implies sharing (or having the capacity to share) the feelings of another, while empathy tends to be used to mean imagining, or having the capacity to imagine, feelings that one does not actually have."

	In response to post #8267. I think you mixing up empathy and sympathy. Sympathy is your ability to relate to understand peoples feelings, regardless of whether or not you relate to them or feel them yourself. Empathy is your ability to feel other people's feelings as if they were your own. What you've described is someone who has high sympathy, but lower empathy.

	I voted NTJ because they can help you irl. Now, in facebook, someone with high empathy is probably ISFP.

	In response to post #8271. It's useless to claim that someone's "being semantic" when what there really doing is clearly a self evidently semantic disagreement. Obviously I'm dealing with the ways in which they do not overlap.

	I noticed that with the new function test, I get a lot duplicate entries submitted too... I don’t know what’s causing that but I can probably just add a 15 second spam filter or something to prevent it (later)

	why ESFP? FJ 1 makes more sense to me. "I understand why you're hurting, but you need to work through it yourself."
