Default Measuring Transmission Fluid ...Which is the right way?

Got a 92 Civic LX with 189,000 miles.

I'm trying to find out which is the right way to measure Transmission fluid, because some people are like.."You turn the engine on, shift through all the gears & then check your transmission fluid dipstick!"
But on the other hand...others say.."Just check the dipstick, there's no need to turn the engine on."

Soooo...Which is the correct way?

I'm asking because with the engine on it looks OVERFILLED(past the high mark)..But with the Engine off it's right at the high mark.
