Hello!

I am currently trying to figure out my heritage, as I am an adoptee and don't really know anything concerning where my biological family comes from. Using the Eurogenes Admixture calculator on GEDMatch makes matters even more confusing for me, and I am currently not sure what to make of these results! It's displaying Asian populations and has me wondering if I am actually of part-Asian descent or if I should simply be using a different admixture calculator. After all, the distance is above 4. Please let me know what you think. :)

I could be wrong, but I think that I can reasonably conclude that I am of Northern European and Asian descent, but I don't know which Asian, as all calculators return different Asian populations. Which one is most applicable to me? Thanks!
 
IMHO you should have a closer look at your genetic matches first (not on Gedmatch). What company did you use for testing?
I would look for the ones without mixed heritage(usually most of non-American testees) and your common matches. Family names will be quite telling.
Look for "4th cousins-distant cousins" (10cM-->0.13-0.14% and around) first. Then move to closer or more distant ones(non-Americans) and check whether they fall in a specific geographical region.

here some charts with cM/relationship averages:

It also could be Middle Eastern. My MDLP K23b for 88% NW European, 11.5% Sicilian, and 0.5% Native American is as follows:

(I chose the K23b because it gives me interesting matches like yours)
 
No....it just means that you are slightly more southern than the average NWE.

Also, without the Geographic breakdown it is impossible to tell with just Population approximations.
