Our top three guesses for your English dialect:
1. Singaporean
2. South African
3. New Zealandish
Our top three guesses for your native (first) language:
1. Spanish
2. Polish
3. Arabic
Not even close about the native language. Maybe Polish being part of the slavic gtoup but still far away 
Can I consider Singaporean for English (UK) after our British representative here hit the Singaporean?

May I inquire where you are from? Those results seem very similar to mine (the dialect ones).

Well according to this algorithm, Singaporean dialect is the most popular. Which, judging by the link Artu sent on Singlish is a feat of monumental proportions. As I have never in my life heard anyone speak like that, apart from movies.
However, why has no-one else had Russian guessed as a first language?? I speak one miserable language??? And none of them were listed??

According to the test I'm either Hungarian or Polish - at least the part of Europe is correct... relatively. The dialect is US Black Vernacular, whatever that means. Every native speaker that I know swears that I sound like a Russian KGB agent or mobster (damn Hollywood brainwashes, comrade). The conclusion is - I speak fine English.

I think it's because we have been in contact with some kinds of media, I, for example, have consumed a lot of american media, so, maybe the characters that spoke in ebonics influenced me.
But that's a total guess, I may be wrong...
EDIT::
Just for giggles I did it again and this happened...
Our top three guesses for your English dialect:
1. Singaporean
2. Australian
3. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics
Our top three guesses for your native (first) language:
1. German
2. Turkish
3. Italian
I still speak in ebonics and apparently I've become German, but it still says Italian so I'm fine.

How did I miss this.
Well folks, just so you know, apparently Singaporean is good to get. I am a native speaker and it's my number two. Romanian and Chinese for my second and third "native" languages threw me a bit though. <L>
Our top three guesses for your English dialect:
1. American (Standard) 2. Singaporean 3. South African
Our top three guesses for your native (first) language: 1. English 2. Romanian 3. Chinese
@ Artu
Your test results confirmed me as a decent detective, since I've already said that your English is as good as mine.
Edit= It just occurred to me that Singapore was in British control for a long time...that explains a lot.
