The test showed more nevrotypic than aspie.

and the AQ?
EQ and SQ?

I agree with you, but I would also do them to be sure that it's not just the test.

My EQ is above average.

I scored 62/100 in sq test.

Just be a little cautious to assume too much from a test/tests. They are used to screen or aid in confirming diagnosis but they are not the defining factor. Especially as a female, with all the research and studies having been done on males and with females usually having a slightly different presentation, don't bank on the test being 100% correct. That said. it wouldn't hurt to get retested if things are looking less likely that your diagnosis was correct and if you are not suffering impact on your daily life in any way.

Well, you can still be autistic/on the autistic spectrum. I'm also not that typical either, But if you're not sure in general I would talk with an ASD specialist(!) talk about it.

Please NOT with any random shrink, that makes no sence if you're not a clear cut case anyway.

such tests are only an indication, and have little diagnostic value, although scoring on either extreme on several tests can be a reason to go for a professional diagnosis.

also, the rdos test is not fully for aspergers, it was originally created to find validity for the rdos neanderthal theory, confirming the results against pre-diagnosed autistics or NTs, although it can now be used for an indication in the reversed direction
