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.

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?

Yes, my message was the site was under maintenance.

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.
