Lent my torque wrench to someone, and come to use it now,a nd un be known to me they left it wound up Evil or Very Mad

Any ideas which way its likeley to be off, ie if i set it to 90Nm, will it tighten it more then that, or less than that?

if the calibrations been knocked off by being left preloaded, it will tighten to slightly lower torque
