How accurate is DNA ancestry testing?

[seokjin]

I’ve been thinking about getting one of those DNA ancestry tests, but are they really accurate? How much can you trust the results? Anyone done it and found any surprises?

DNA ancestry tests can be pretty fascinating! Many people find surprising results, like discovering unexpected relatives or heritage they didn't know about. While these tests can give you a good idea of your ancestry, it's important to remember that their accuracy can vary. Some people have had mixed experiences, with some results being spot on and others less so. If you're curious, it might be worth giving it a try, but just keep in mind that results can be interpreted in different ways! Have you heard any interesting stories from friends who’ve taken the test?
