I think the genetic tests are not accurate. For example is it true that someone who is half Kavkazian half Arabian clusters with Assyrians, honestly it sounds far fetched. The reason is because my Arabian is also of South Arabian stock and my maternal line clusters with Yemenite Jews. Also when the split occurs in Eurogenes indicating the cities, Rub Al-Khali was what my mom got, this is located in Southern Arabia. All in all I am happy with the results especially my maternal lineage unlike what the idiots and troll say Arabized this and Arabized that, she is real ethnic Arabian. Though what I am trying to ask why does it average as Assyrian. Are Assyrian in ancient times of a similar mixture.

To prove my point this my one of my oracle test results:

1 Assyrian 56.27%
2 North_Ossetian 16.63%
3 Saudi 14.41%
4 Lebanese_Muslim 8.71%
5 Yoruban 1.21%
6 Chamar 1.20%
7 Maasai 0.85%
8 Papuan 0.72

Another one has me with clustering with Georgian Jews on the world9 oracle

My results:

1 Georgia_Jews 89.66%
2 MALAYAN 2.98%
3 ASW30 2.79%
4 Selkup 1.63%
5 Papuan 1.29%
6 Pathan 1.04%
7 Aleut 0.34%
8 Puerto_Rican 0.22%
9 Colombian 0.05%
10 AthabaskHD4 0.00%

1 Georgia_Jews 73.53%
2 Armenian 9.69%
3 MALAYAN 4.23%
4 ASW30 4.11%
5 Samaritians 3.10%
6 Selkup 1.97%
7 Morocco_Jews 1.84%
8 Papuan 1.20%
9 Pathan 0.20%
10 WestGreenland 0.11%

I believe they are accurate in terms of continents, but not nationalities.

Because Yemeni Jews are half levantine so you cluster north. It's just more proof you're Jewish

^^^ Oracle-X is not accurate, its still under development. Oracle 4 is somewhat accurate for me, again in terms of regions. Oracle x always says I'm mostly French when I have little French ancestry.

Here's one for me:

Using 4 populations approximation:
1 Argyll + Bulgarians + Mixed_Germanic + Tuscan @ 2.023
2 Bulgarians + Mixed_Germanic + Orcadian + Tuscan @ 2.078
3 Bulgarians + Irish + Mixed_Germanic + Tuscan @ 2.079
4 Argyll + Bulgarians + Mixed_Germanic + TSI30 @ 2.094

I'm Irish, Scottish, German, Greek, French, and Dutch for the most part. Seems to be in the ballpark.

Like most people, you don't know how to interpret the results you are getting.

Then how do you explain it? I would appreciate it.

You cluster there because you are in between your two parent populations. You cluster right where someone who is half Circassian and half Bedouin should cluster. Right in between where your father was from and your mother was from. There is nothing wrong with these tests especially Polako's Eurogenes ones at GEDmatch.
