Surprisingly accurate: I got Baltimore (birthplace), D.C. (lived there too), and St. Louis. Never lived in the StL though.

reasonably accurate, all 3 gave me california. I got Fremont, San Jose, and Santa Clarita. only santa clarita is from so-cal, though i've picked up a great deal of nor-cal vernacular from UCLA students, a ton of whom are from the bay area.
my 'defining answer' was freeway
Completely accurate for me... New Orleans where I'm from and where I live, & Baton Rouge where I went to college. 3rd choice was Jackson
there were some hilarious terms that i didn't think were actually used by speakers of the english language. i guess others feel the same about answers i submitted
I guess surveys dont lie.
Sneakers was mine.
I remember when I was in Sop re year I had a casual chat with an English teacher on our campus and I didn't know her at all. She said my English was good and she had no problem understanding me. She said my accent sounded of Utah and North California, it made perfect sense because I was listening to Tom Leykis and John&Jeff a lot back then, both shows based in LA at the time. But I thought my accent sounded more Texan rather than Californian because my voice was sort of husky and I also listened to some Texan radios a lot, she was from LA so I guess she was more familiar to accents of California and other states nearby. But I have no idea how they can get a clue about where you are from just by the way you organize the words, without knowing the way you pronounce them.
States with big immigrant populations (legal immigrants I mean, so Texas is written off) all tend to share similar styles of language, that's why so many New Yorkers have flourish in Hollywood, I think.
Stockton, California, Reno, Nevada and Irving, Texas.
East coast of the US for me was nothing but blue, white and yellow.
I live in SA.

Lol that's not a test for me

I got your places of Laredo, San Antone and Plano, well except for Plano that's for the rich kid druggies.
Least similar were Buffalo, Rochester and Philly.
overall not that bad of a test. I've lived all over growing up so the regions that were most dissimilar were places I've never been.
Fremont, San Jose and Wichita
wtfWichita
The most incriminating term of the whole test is "yinz" in Question 1. If you selected that they would probably stop the test right there and tell you Pittsburgh. Yinz gonna go donton and watch the Stillers?
I'm from Crenshaw Mafia, you African booty-scratcher.
Not even close. Tarian 5... lol
LOL, San Antonio was my #1 pick because I used the phrase "access road" for the road next to the highway.
St Louis #2 because I pronounce "cot" and "caught" differently.
Irving, Tx #3 because I called an easy class a "blow off".
If they really wanted to narrow it to Texas they should have asked if you call a gas station an ice house. I never heard the end of it from my friends in California when I kept calling them ice houses when I lived in LA.
LOL, forgot everyone calls the highway that in Cali.
Most similar: Portland, SA, Cleveland. wtf?
its not what we call it, its what it IS
got me right...Gave me SA, Irving and Huntsville ....
