Well, the most accurate DNA test results are the ones you agree with, that most match your known ancestry. Me, I was born on tiny island south of Sicily. All my forebears are from there barring one or two foreigners, but some hundreds of years back. So all I expect to see is Maltese and Italian. MyHeritage, an Israeli company, is way off, they can't even get Jews correct, never tested with them, I have seen Maltese results and they are shit. 23andMe, doesn't have Maltese reference, and thinks Maltese are a subset of Italians, which they ain't. 23andMe is run by idiots, and have PHDs in Wokism. Ancestry and FTDNA have been the best.

The raw data is the best part of DNA testing as you can use it elsewhere, and don't need to rely on the testing company to tell you about yourself. 23andMe is geared to Americans, the Euro Americans, African Americans and Hispanic Americans, they are also good with Ashkenazi Jews. So that is what they do, give Americans estimates where their ancestors could have originated from in Europe, Africa and pre Colonial America. For mono Ethnic folks it falls short. Can it tell a person from Brabant that he is wholly descended from Netherland Dutch speakers, Belgium French speakers, is ethnically Dutch, is ethnically Belgian or some combination? I think not.
