There are other measures of central tendency which are often called the "average."

Nice use of Excel to figure it out. Not the prettiest setup, but it gets the work done. Unfortunately for me, I would've ended up giving it some style to tell some parts apart from each other easier, as well as a sort of easy-to-copy template to extend the chart as new/more data comes in (light green/light orange grid for the A/N values for example).

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Um... average == mean...
Woops, I meant to label it median not mean. I always mix those terms up. Anyway, that is the median.

I feel like my "natural" state is actually even more Aspie than the results, because I've learned over the years how to cope in some social situations, even when I'm cringing inside the whole way. Plus, my social behavior is very context-dependent. For instance, the "Do you like to meet new people?" question:

Well, if you're talking about going by myself to a room full of strangers and having to introduce myself and get to know them, then NO. That is a special level of Hell reserved for me.
But if we're talking about a situation where it's me and several friends and one or two new people, then I can be quite extroverted because I feel "safe" and want to help the new person feel welcome. If I had been raised in a rough inner-city I'd totally have been in a gang, because even though I'm sort of a loner, I need that in-group membership to feel comfortable with any kind of social interactions.

Interestingly enough, my wife is the total opposite. She's a natural extrovert, and has no problem with conferences and whatnot where she's meeting lots of new people all at once. But when we have regular gatherings of friends and somebody brings a new person, she's all out of whack.

Your Aspie score: 101 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 107 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

I'm not actually sure how to read this chart. There seem to be two of every axis.

There is.  From what I gathered.  There's traits that appear neurotypical, and traits that appear aspie.  For example, the way you perceive is very highly correlated to neurotypical perception, but not quite so much to typical aspie perception.

Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 94 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits



Edit: 

The PDF looks like it contains the most interesting info.  My more detailed scores:

Aspie Talent:  6.5/10    (Need contemplation time;  Believe myself to have good pattern recognition)
Neurotypical Talent:  2.5/10    (Hate verbal instructions;  Cannot take notes;  Best learn by doing)
Aspie Compulsion:  4.6/10     (Hate interruptions;  Always mentally prepare before doing)
Neurotypical Compulsion:  3.3/10     
Aspie Social:  6.2/10     (Chaotic sleep patterns;  Resent authority;  Daydreamer;  Trouble finishing projects)
Neurotypical Social:  4.7/10     (Regenerate after socializing;  Seen as kind of distant;  Prefer to do things alone;  Hate being observed while working, unless invited)
Aspie Communication:  5.1/10     (Very fidgety;  Sit in weird positions;  Talk very softly and thoroughly plan responses)
Neurotypical Communication:  3.8/10     (Often misunderstood;  Problems with timing in conversation;  Other people's priorities/motivations make no sense to me;  Tend to speak honestly and literally and expect others to do the same, which is why I'm often misunderstood because people try to read into stuff when there's nothing to read into :[)
Aspie Hunting:  2.7/10     
Neurotypical Hunting:  6.2/10
Aspie Perception:  3.6/10    (Sensitive to light)
Neurotypical Perception:  8.5/10    (Lose track of time; Bad sense of direction)
Environment:  4.5/10   (Shut down when overstressed; Bullied)
