Question 1 of 5

1. Question

Ekman’s model of three types of empathy is most directly relevant to coaching ethics because:

Coaches who develop all three types of empathy are better equipped to adapt their approach to a wide range of clients and emotional situations.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Emotional empathy creates the resonance that makes clients feel genuinely heard, which is a precondition for the kind of trust that allows coaching to go deep.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Cognitive empathy can be used in service of the coach’s own agenda; only empathic concern is oriented toward the client’s genuine interest by definition.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

This model of empathy provides a diagnostic for understanding why some coaching relationships feel connected and productive while others feel technically competent but hollow.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Correct

Incorrect
Question 2 of 5

2. Question

ICF sub-competency 1.02 asks coaches to be sensitive to clients’ identity, environment, experiences, values and beliefs. The most accurate description of what this requires in practice is:

Holding the client’s context and experience with genuine curiosity, and actively compensating for the fact that the coaching power differential automatically narrows empathic attention.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Actively researching a client’s cultural context before sessions, so the coach can bring relevant knowledge and avoid inadvertent assumptions that could undermine the relationship.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Asking clients at the start of an engagement to share any aspects of their identity or background that they feel are relevant to the coaching, so the coach can incorporate this into their approach.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Ensuring that the coaching process is designed flexibly enough to accommodate different communication styles, decision-making frameworks, and cultural norms around authority and self-disclosure.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Correct

Question 3 of 5

3. Question

Dutton’s finding that occupying a position of power automatically reduces empathic attention to those with less power has the following coaching application:

Coaches should make explicit efforts to equalize power in the coaching relationship, for example by being more self-disclosing or by consistently framing the coach as a learner rather than an expert.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Good intentions are insufficient. The structural dynamic works against empathic attention regardless of the coach’s values, so active compensation — asking rather than inferring, checking reads rather than acting on them — is required as a matter of professional practice.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The power differential in coaching is softer than in management or supervisory relationships, since the client retains authority over their own goals and agenda, which mitigates the structural reduction in empathic attention.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Coaches can neutralize the power differential by explicitly framing themselves as a thinking partner rather than an expert, which removes the structural basis for reduced empathic attention.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Correct

Incorrect
Question 4 of 5

4. Question

What distinguishes empathic concern from cognitive empathy in a coaching context?

Empathic concern means emotional resonance with the client’s experience, whereas cognitive empathy is purely analytical. One is felt, the other is understood.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The distinction is primarily one of intensity. Empathic concern involves a deeper, more sustained caring than the moment-to-moment attunement of cognitive empathy.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Cognitive empathy is sufficient for effective coaching in most situations; empathic concern becomes relevant primarily when the coach’s preferences conflict with the client’s stated goals.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Cognitive empathy is the ability to read a client’s state accurately. That reading can exist without caring what happens to the client. Empathic concern is the caring, the genuine orientation toward their welfare that cognitive empathy alone doesn’t provide.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Correct

Incorrect
Question 5 of 5

5. Question

Goleman describes the “dark triad” — narcissists, Machiavellians, and sociopaths — as people who can be very good at cognitive empathy while lacking empathic concern. The relevance of this for coaching ethics is:

The dark triad illustrates that cognitive empathy and empathic concern are separable, you can read people accurately without caring about their welfare. In coaching, technical skill can be used in service of the coach’s agenda rather than the client’s.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Coaches working in organizational settings should be prepared to encounter clients with dark triad traits and develop strategies for maintaining the coaching relationship without being manipulated.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The finding underscores why coaches should seek regular supervision. Working with clients who lack empathic concern is emotionally demanding, and supervision provides the support needed to maintain professional quality.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The finding is primarily relevant for coaches working in organizational settings, where they are more likely to encounter clients with dark triad traits and need strategies for maintaining professional boundaries.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Correct

Incorrect
