According to the app’s webpage, “After this test you’ll have the proven answer to a question you might have since maybe a long time.”
The app consists of 20 questions “to know more about your son.”

Curious, Chansanchai said she paid the $2.69 fee and was presented with this list of questions:
Other questions — typos and all — included:
