Probably highly skewed to the right, with discrete values (perhaps due to the limitations in the accuracy of the assessment equipment). But note:

Subject: [R] Interpreting Q-Q Plots
My understanding of Q-Q plots is that if the tails of the plotted points fall above or below the x=y line the distribution of observed/measured values is under or over dispersed. But, how do I interpret measured values that are in horizontal lines? The attached plot illustrates this situation.
TIA,
Rich
