I scored 31; my first reaction on seeing “A typical score is in the range 22-30” was that it they deliberately gave a lower range, so as to give a better feeling to the user (like those “Wow you matched the ‘winner’ profile by 98%! You should buy our product!” online tests).
But looking at comments here, and at the distribution given in the paper you linked, I guess I did get a decent score. Maybe my methodology worked better (hide the words, just look at the picture, describe the expression to myself, then pick the word that seems the closest); or all those years drawing stick-figure comics with exaggerated expressions (and iterating a lot on how to draw them right) did pay off.
I mean, I certainly don’t consider myself above average in social skills :D

“Social skills” is one of those terms that’s in dire need of explosion.
