I'm Monotropic, Now What?
How exactly do I interpret this scale :)?

It's been a moment since I took the monotropism questionnaire, but I scored in the 200s.
The title makes me think that you discovered the monotropism questionnaire from the relevant video from "I am autistic, now what?". In case you haven't watched the video, maybe it's a good intro.
Other than that, I am myself trying to answer the same question. For me learning about autism has helped a lot. There have been a lot of moments of "doesn't everybody do that?" and "oh, that's why!".
If there are problems that lead to you taking the questionnaire, maybe it's worth seeking guidance from a professional. Though, sometimes it's hard to get proper help.
Regardless, if the result is true or not, it's worth it to take a look at your day to day life, see how monotropism is affecting you and if you can make any changes that would help. For example, at some point I realized one of the reasons I was avoiding hanging the laundry out to dry is that I hate touching wet fabrics, and mentally preparing myself for it made it a lot more bearable (still icky though).
