Depends on the animal and it comparative to the other scorpions. I had one freshman year of college, the rare times I took him out, he was docile once in your hand but it was a real pain in the behind to get him out of the tank. Once out he was cool, just walking around and checking everything out. IMO scorpions and tarantulas are more of exhibit animal great for looking, not for touching. I'm not saying it can't be done, it just puts a lot risk on you and the animal. One mistake you could get pinched, stung, or worse, your animal could fall and lights out for it...
 
They're usually quite calm but as with anything there are exceptions. The few that i've had were all pretty nice. Are you 100% sure its an Emp and not and Asian Forest Scorpion? They look almost identical but Asian's are fairly aggressive. Just a thought.
