You are as unique as a Broome pearl.
This quiz is based on the results of the 2016 census. If you answered "Yes" to a question, then you chose the most common response. We think that makes you pretty ordinary.

A Broome Pearl" ?? Wtf is a Broome Pearl??

According to the test that loosegoose provided Kevin is 17% Australian. That can't be. Kevin's ancestry is Russian and Lithuanian. As far as Kevin knows there were never any Australians on his family tree, unless one of them centuries ago took a trip to Australia, knocked up a native women, and took the child back to the U.S. gave him/her his name and sent him out into the world when he grew up. Years later when he married he had a child, and that child then married and had a child and so and so on.......17%. At least that un-settling aussie accent was not passed on!

Like Kevin, I am 17% Australian.
Does this make me American? That would be the last straw!

**effCup** · August 5th, 2017, 02:55 PM

I don't think the survey does say you're 17% "Australian", only 17% "ordinary". That's the whole point--how extraordinary/rare the supposed "ordinary" Australian really is.

I presume you've all read the stuff linked from "What's this all about?", in loosey's original abc link?
