Empathy and low EQ score

Has anyone else been upset after being diagnosed as an adult to find that they have a really low empathy test EQ score? I felt ashamed at first, then upset and was even angry at times. Did it affect you in the same way? I'd really like to know thank you.

I suppose, for me, it depends upon whether it is upsetting to read and think about the test result, versus, does it manifest as a problem in my day-to-day life - a feature which had previously been an upsetting mystery - and if it does: are there work around techniques which I am prepared to trial or adopt?

I think it can be helpful to view such tests as indicative and informing insight and awareness (rather than pejorative).

It has definitely caused insight and awareness. I suppose I am concerned at how others view me on knowing that I have a low EQ score.
