Yeah, but why would you do that? What would warrant considering that it would just be pure coincidence that the 7 best performers happen to have below average empathy scores? Of course there will be outliers in data. You must consider that there are also outliers on the bottom end of the math scale who seem to score above average on empathy.

What if the math group would have been up in the upper right hand corner? Would you then have made the same observation?

I don't really buy the "my children aren't good at everything but not bad at everything either so lets pick one", which was mentioned earlier. The questionnaire considered both SQ-C and EQ-C, and correlation was found between only one of them. You'd think both would have then been found to correlate.
