This is interesting. It was quite right about my country and my first language.
It gives three guesses for each and its second guess for my native language was Hungarian. I wonder which feature of my language led to that idea.This message has been edited. Last edited by: BobHale,

They were correct for my ethnicity (English, Swedish, and German). However, they were only right about my dialect being American. The other choices were Black and Singaporean -- both not even close.
It may be because several of the choices were not how I would speak, so I had to choose the closest representation. That may have skewed the result somewhat.

I think the number one choice is what you are supposed to look at - the others are alternatives if the first one proves to be wrong.
Anyway - I did it again giving all the weirdest answers and they suggested that I am an Arabic speaker from Singapore - I didn't complete the last bits as I don't want to screw with their research.

And where my "correct" answer wasn't there (when I did it properly), I left the question blank.

I couldn't leave most blank since it kept refusing to accept a blank.

You got me baffled proof. Apart from the pictures and the next three or four (which all have really straightforward selections) EVERY page can be left blank. I know because I've just done it.

I came up the same as Bob: English, Welsh or Scottish with an alternative of Hungarian.

I went back and checked. I was trying to enter info where I should have picked a choice from the list. Misunderstood several of the instructions.

The linked-to site refuses me admittance. Is there a servant's entrance?

I suspect that as this is spreading really fast on FB their server may have crashed

Yes, I saw it on FB (not Bob's page) before I saw it here. The site was working when I checked just now.

I got into the site. It thinks I'm Scottish. Perhaps not a bad guess, since Scottish culture was predominant in my native Northwestern part of South Carolina. It also thinks I may know Swedish and Dutch. I can get my face slapped in Swedish, but not in Dutch.
