I've taken this before and I score 100% Southern. Shouldn't surprise anyone who's ever heard my Texas drawl.

Co-authored a book with a woman from Brooklyn once. You should hear us jabbering away together on the interview tapes. Never got her saying "y'all," but I found myself asking for another cup of "cah-fee" instead of "caw-fee."

That was fun...I had the "midland" accent. I am originally from IL and now live in CO. I am one of those people who say I don't have an accent!

My Brooklyn-born husband just took it and he's definitely North East.

Rob, thanks for the link, I'll check that out.

Glad you enjoyed the quiz too :-) I most definitely said everything out loud but with such a strong RI accent, I'm not surprised that I scored the way I did. I'm just impressed that the quiz makers really know their stuff. :-)

The dialect survey is much more thorough and interesting.
