The current study was designed to compare four possible methods of identifying natural helpers: a self‐report measure of natural helping ability, ratings by others of helping ability based on two 10‐minute helping sessions, self‐report on measures assessing theoretically‐derived constructs related to natural helping, and a self‐report of intent to pursue a helping career. On the basis of a correlational analysis, we found the most support for the self‐report measure of natural helping ability and intent to pursue a helping career.
