Major erroneous guesses italicised

Points to Note:

In general, guesses for each voice covered a wide spectrum of answers, with "American" seemingly the focal point (note that "American" here includes "Black American" guesses). A majority or plurality of the students thought that the two AusE and the two NZE voices were "American".
The American voices were identified correctly by approximately two-thirds of the sample.
The two English voices were the only two not identified as "American", with the male English voice being correctly identified by 23% of the sample.
The female North American voice was the clear leader for solidarity and competence traits.
The UK female was downrated on most traits relative to the other voices, but was joined for solidarity variables by the UK Male.
