Back in 2002, I believe, ABC News created a quiz to illustrate the phenomenon of linguistic profiling; it included a series of audio clips of ten different people reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb." The quiz was possibly inspired by but not the same as the "American Tongues" clip with a similar setup. I'm also already familiar with the YouTube video of the 20/20 Downtown episode featuring John Baugh's work on linguistic profiling, which includes an excerpt of the quiz but not all ten speakers.

Did anyone happen to download the sound files, or does anyone have a working link to the original quiz? My students and I would be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.
