23andMe reported that I, a White woman of European descent, had… 0% European. The health report seems randomly generated. The traits report gives bizarre results. There are many haplogroups. After only taking samples from four population groups, they assign you to one. When I asked on the forums what happened, a bunch of bullies seemed to try to drive me to suicide. I want my money back.

Is there anyway to buy or obtain this test or one like it for myself?

Avis – I cannot, of course, make any sort of guarantee about proper labeling other than to say that I know that 23andMe has safety mechanisms to prevent this type of situation. Regarding the accuracy of results, I know that several people have tested through more than one company and found that their results were identical or nearly identical (i.e. just a handful of differences among 500,000 SNPs).

Leery of the odds accuracy of 23andMe, I am curious as to the chance of my spit sample being mis-labeled with some other sample and results being of dire consequences. Can you ease my mind?

I am very impressed by this test. I also was surprised by the differences in your percentage results as posted by ancestrybydna which I tested with. This will definitely be my Next project.

Hope all is well Blaine.
