After taking the Tara Meyer-Robson Empath test my score revealed that I am an extreme empath. I always have felt that I can read people really quickly, not necessarily their moods or what is going on but as a person I can figure out what sort of vibe they emote. I think this does work to my benefit in my job because it allows me to get to know my students quicker and they feel like they can trust me and come to me with everything, which is super important to me. However, I can also see how this would lead to some level of burnout.
