Are You Soft-Hearted or Stone-Hearted?

If you’re kind, loving, respectful, trustworthy, and compassionate, you have a soft heart. But if you’re cruel, unfeeling, ignorant, disrespectful, and immoral, your heart is hard.

Signs of a Soft-Hearted Person

Generally, you are a kind-hearted person if:

You love yourself.
You value life more than materials.
You don’t pass judgment.
You respect everyone and treat them equally.
You are trustworthy and honest.
You are empathetic, generous, and helpful.
You compliment others openhandedly.
You try to listen to and understand others.

Signs of a Stone-Hearted Person

You are an insensitive person if you have the following features:

You’re unable to love.
You are mean.
You can’t trust anyone.
You are neither genuine nor honest.
You lack empathy.
You don’t believe in equality.
You only help others when there’s personal gain.
You are inconsiderate and entitled.
You don’t feel happy for others.

Why Someone Becomes Hard-Hearted?

Many become unempathetic and cold because of tragic or heartbreaking life experiences. For them, having a hard heart is a defense mechanism that’s supposed to protect them against possible heartrending incidents in the future.

Why Some People Have a Heart of Gold?

Figuratively speaking, what’s in your heart results from internal and external factors, such as temperament, upbringing, environment, and even genetics. But being kind-hearted is often a conscious choice, a decision to treat people the same way you want to be treated.

Is It Bad to Have a Heart of Stone?

Legally, humans are not obligated to be nice or kind. As long as your actions don’t hurt others or interfere with their rights, you’re allowed to express your temperament—whether warm or cold. So, being stone-hearted is not necessarily a bad thing.

However, morally speaking, having a cold heart or being unempathetic is unacceptable. It’s a sign of untrustworthiness and a warning that you’re uncooperative. In other words, it declares that you don’t value what society does.

Can a Soft-Hearted Person Turn into a Stone-Hearted One?

Yes, people might change their behavior in time. A kind person could become cold and cruel. And an unkind person might become compassionate and considerate. After all, humans are conscious beings, and their behaviors are bound to their decisions.

Take the Quiz to See What’s in Your Heart

Humans are complicated. You cannot categorize them into two basic groups, kind- and stone-hearted. You should acknowledge that some are fake-hearted and two-faced. Others are tender-hearted. And many are heartless.

The good thing about the heart-type quiz is that it sorts you into the correct category. So, by the end, you realize what’s in your heart, good, bad, or ugly.

Are you a kind-hearted person acting cold? Do you genuinely have a heart of gold? Or are you actually hard-hearted? Let’s find out.

How to Play?

Playing personality quizzes is straightforward: Choose the option that’s true about you—or you relate to—and select “Next.” Unlike trivia quizzes, personality tests have no right or wrong answers. But the questions are in forced-choice format. The point is to push you to choose an option that makes the most sense, not the one that’s 100% true. For the most accurate results, don’t overthink your responses. Go with options that you “feel” are the best.
