I'm already a linux user, i took the former test but was unsatisfied with the result (i wanted to see arch linux in there from my replies but it gave me ubuntu first and then stuff like opensuse the only one it showed i should use that i agreed with was linux mint, and the mandriva which i am unfamiliar with so i can't judge) it seems to choose distros based on your current skill level assuming you do not want to improve your skill level.
The latter test gave me the desired Arch as the best match like i had hoped, listed gentoo highly and my hated ubuntu as low as 82%, it also showed me inbetween those some distros i have never thought about to begin with (Debian, PureOS, Foresight, Slackel...)
So in my opinion:
So for accuracy take the latter link. If you don't know much about linux, don't bother taking the first link as it'll probably just say ubuntu+similar no matter what you do (unless you actually know much about linux)
what i say to beginners is that i recommend ubuntu for people with an apple/mac background, linux mint for people with windows backgrounds, gentoo for people with a BSD background
and if you really really really want to get to know linux, i recommend you start with arch linux, get comfortable with it, get good at using it and then try gentoo (in which you need to customize the kernel settings and C compiler settings upon installation) both of which do not have a GUI installer so you will be forced to get a little familiar with the awesome command line interface (CLI) bash, which is one of the best things about linux to begin with.
