While we often think about compassion as an individual quality, the organizations in which we spend our time — such as workplaces, schools, places of worship and community centers — can actually impact whether and how we respond to someone in distress. This 23-question quiz measures the level of compassion within particular organizations, based on individual stakeholder responses.
The first 16 questions assess how an organization's stakeholders feel, think and act while involved with the organization. The final seven questions will help GGSC’s research team see how people’s experiences of compassion in organizations relate to factors such as gender, age and the size of the organization.
Initial results will be compiled in June 2013.
