I like those BBC tests :-)

It appears that I am a secret Bengladeshi! LOL


The 'Dark personality test' on the same page is also... revealing. ;-)

Not bad at all. I am "shockingly saintly". Don't know if that is meant 
as a compliment (probably not) but I have always known I was destined to 
go to heaven. :-)

My match is Ethiopia (quite interesting! I need to read more about that place.)

My mismatch is Japan (which is sad news; I thought I might like to live in Japan
one day-- if I could possibly learn the language!)

Well, at least my 'best match' isn't the (current) U.S.-- even though I live
here. I've had a feeling for a long time that I belong somewhere else, due to
the political climate and a host of other issues. So MANY other countries seem
to be more 'enlightened', forward-thinking and cultured.

The test makes me wonder how often the U.S pops up as anyone's 'best match',
given the current 'state of things.'

Is it a "Which of the 50 shades of gray are you?" poll?

That would be interesting to test: what it takes to get the US as secret 
nationality (or opposite of course).

Lol. It seems a rather tongue-in-cheek test and it avoids the grey scale 
so to speak.

It says I'm Japanese--the one democratic country in which I would feel least
able to adjust to the culture.
