What Is An Empath?
Essentially, empathy is the ability to put oneself into another person’s shoes, and feel what someone else is feeling. You understand what your friends are going through, and their feelings and energy can be quite contagious, either affecting you positively or adversely. If you possess such qualities, you are probably an empath.

Claircognizant empaths have the all-encompassing gift of all-knowing. You understand the intricacies of the world and the meaning of our purpose and existence in life. You often get a sense of deja-vu and you may experience bursts of inspiration, constantly receiving and absorbing information throughout the day. You are quick-witted and intelligent. You don’t know why you seem to have the answers to everything, and why your friends keep coming to you, but they will describe you as sage and wise anyway.

The word “Geo” means Earth. You are able to feel the aura/energy/vibe of a particular physical location or place, such as a beach or a cemetery. You may also feel an affinity for flora and greenery and you may feel emotionally affected when reading about deforestation in rainforests and destruction of wildlife habitats.
6. Medium Empath
Tarot readers and those who are drawn to the occult may fall into this category. Medium empaths have an intimate connection with the spiritual world, and they are able to sense unseen forces at work. They may be able to sense certain energies and auras, and they may be able to talk to the deceased. Because of this, medium empaths may have a tenuous grip on reality.
7. Psychometric Empath
Just by looking at a physical object, or ancient artifact, you would be able to derive useful and comprehensive information about it, as well as the memories and energy contained in the object. Whether it is an old earring, a yellowed/tattered photograph, or an abandoned wedding gown, you are able to analyze its origins.
8. Precognitive Empath
You may have prophetic visions and dreams, as well as a very strong sixth sense. Generally, your dreams will contain signs and symbols which can be used to interpret or predict events in the future. You are able to use your abilities to forewarn your friends about a bad premonition, whether it is an event or a place.
9. Telepathic Empath
Have you ever been told that you are a good mind reader? Do you know what your friend is going to tell you, even before they say a word? Chances are, you could be a telepathic empath. Telepathic empaths know what people are feeling and thinking even if they don’t vocalize their thoughts.
