1956 ‘J. T. McIntosh’ Empath in New Worlds Aug. 30 ‘How exactly does the government use empaths?’ Tim shrugged. ‘We can tell the level of a man's loyalty just by meeting him. We can walk around a factory and sense that there's going to be a strike.’

1968 H. Ellison in Fantasy & Sci. Fiction Oct. 71/1 That was Eddie Burma's problem. He was an empath. He felt. Deep inside himself, on a level most people never even know exists, he felt for the world.

1984 M. Gentle Golden Witchbreed i. iii. 42 I've sometimes wondered if the department's policy of preferring empaths for diplomatic service is right; it does mean that we identify with the aliens, sometimes overmuch so.
