Pulling a Default Value from Another CCK Field

I'm using CCK and Node Profile, and I'm trying to figure out the php code to pull a default value from another field that users would have filled in previously. This is the code that I've gotten so far:

global $user;
$desired_result = db_query("SELECT field_value FROM {content_type_table} INNER JOIN node ON (content_type_table.nid = node.nid) WHERE (node.uid =  $user->uid)");
return array(
 array(
  'value' => print $desired_result
 )
);

The problem is that it only returns the number 1 no matter how I tweak this code. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?
