Linguistic Profiling

1. I guessed black, which was correct. I think it had something to do with the pronunciation of "where" and the cadence of "to go."

2. Two for two so far. I guessed white, because the accent sounded fairly neutral to me. 

3. Okay, this one was tough for me. I actually thought it sounded a little Scandinavian, which was not a choice. In fact, black was my last guess!

4. I got this one right. I guessed hispanic, but I'm not sure what led me to that conclusion. I think it was something about the pronunciation of "Mary."

5. I had no clue. I guessed white, black, then hispanic. 

6. This one I was pretty confident about. I guessed hispanic because of the way he said "snow." It sounded similar to the Spanish "no" to me. 

7.  This was a toss up between Middle Eastern and Indian. I think it was something about the rhythm of the speech that led me to this conclusion. 

8. I guessed hispanic first, then black without a specific reason.

9. White was my first guess, again because it sounded neutral. 

10. I was probably most confident about this answer, because the recording sounded much like an Indian-American man I know at home. Even his little slip-ups were similar.
