Autism is diagnosed by observation of the known characteristics in a person; there are several checklists and simple activities that can be used to aid this diagnosis either way. However, direct testing of an individual cannot define whether a person has autism or an autistic spectrum disorder, only whether it is not likely, likely or very likely that they do. This is because scientists are still not sure exactly what can and can't cause autism or ASD, and accordingly can't test for something whenthey don't know what to look for.
yes there are many tests for aspergers . there is one problem . getting a good score in a test does not mean you have aspergers . if you want to make sure that you have aspergers and you get a high score i suggest you sign up for a diagnosis . if you dont get a high aspie score its not likely you have aspergers and you shouldn't bother much . what a test says is not always true You could take an online test to give yourself an idea whether you could have Asperger syndrome, but to know for sure you would need to see a properly qualified professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, for a thorough assessment.

Each person who has aspergers has a different personality, and aspergers manifests itself differently in different persons. So, probably, no one who has aspergers has all the symptoms, because the combination is different in each individual.
