Yeah, I think people can sometimes improve their empathy. I remember taking that test on eye expressions a few years back and I flunked it horribly, basically doing no better than random. This October I realized that loneliness had started to seriously bother me (no idea why, I was always okay with loneliness before) and I made a birthday resolution to be closer to other people no matter what it takes. Today I retook the test and actually did better than average (28/36). Moreover, the right answers were completely obvious most of the time. I guess I had the circuitry after all, it's just a matter of using it. Though of course for other people it might be different.
