Well, one the one hand I am quite happy to have a list where it doesn't say "United States", "United Kingdom" at the top, then two dashes, and then all the "less important countries".
*Shrug* I wouldn't really care about that. But my nationality is Dutch, and that couldn't be found at the time when I took the survey. At least, not under the "D". And neither under the "N" for Netherlands. It was, of course, under the "T" of "The Netherlands".
That suggests to me that they really didn't test that question, seeing that it is a Dutch university, and that I would expect at least one of their internal testers to be Dutch.
I found a similar problem. My passport says my nationality is "British Citizen", the closest fit I could find on their list was "United Kingdom". They clearly don't understand what "nationality" means. I have no idea what they actually mean by "United Kingdom", there is no such nationality. Is it a catch all for all British Nationals? Just British Citizens? Just British Nationals resident in the UK?
