Empathy

Empathy reflects an individual's ability to perceive the emotional state of another living organism through psionic means. This is more than simply telling that someone is happy because they are smiling. An empath can determine whether someone is feeling ashamed, hiding a secret, or harboring positive or negative feelings towards another. Empathy is a common trait among many alien races. The little midget with the telescoping neck known as E.T. possesses this trait, due to the bond he shares with the human boy Elliot. Counselor Deanna Troi from the Star Trek'' film series had the ability to telepathically sense the emotional state of those within her line of sight, even if such individuals were only present on a video monitor.
