I know four people from around the country and it got two exactly right and the other two were very close(the next one listed).
I was rated North Central (way off) but the next two in the rankings nailed me: “The West” where I’ve lived for all but the first 3-1/2 years of my life, and “Boston” where I lived for the first 3-1/2 years. Maybe North Central is a blend of the two, eh? ;-D!
Love,

About russtowne
I'm awed by the beauty of nature and the power of love and gratitude. Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.
That was interesting. Mine was pretty right on. I live in the midwest where we are known for not really having a regional accent. Telemarketing is big here because of that. A little “okie” still slips out when I’m tired. Not sure where that fits in their regional divisions.
It nailed me! Thanks, Joan Callaghan
It’s interesting that answers to so few questions can do that, especially without it hearing your voice. Thank you for your comment, my friend.

This was fun to take, but according to this, I must be losing my Southern states accent. It called me a midlander (which is highly suspicious of a flatlander). 😉
Maybe that’s the default label when it isn’t sure which region a person is from.

So fun! I got the same result as you 🙂
I’m glad that you enjoyed it too.
