My EQ score was slightly below the male average at 38. My SQ score was way high at 67. The other thing that I noticed was on the EQ test, most of my selections were in the "Slightly Agree/Disagree" category while on the SQ test, most of the questions elicited "Strongly Agree/Disagree" answers.
So, basically I'm a geek with acceptable social skills. And since I learned about it, I've always suspected that I have a tendency towards Aspergers Syndrome. My EQ when I was younger would have been much lower.
And Matt, just as a comment, I think your scores match you reasonably well. You don't have an engineer's mind set, and you are typically oblivious to the outside world. This doesn't make you a bad person -- these tests aren't measuring artistic ability and abstract thought, the two areas where you seem to excel.
Also, there was a complaint by someone else regarding how the questions were phrased. I think this is a difference between British and American use of English. The Guardian is one of the premier British newspapers. I found it perfectly understandable. :-)
