What American Accent do You Have Quiz

My result from taking the test is that I am from the West, which is correct since I'm from California, not too far from Stanford. Taking the test was really interesting because for some of the words they asked me about, I'd never even considered the fact that some people said them different ways. It was really interesting because the majority of the words they asked about sounded exactly the same to me. It would be really fun to compare the way I say those words with the way someone from say, the South, would say them now that they have been brought to my attention. I also thought that taking the test was a funny experience because on almost every question I had to think about it pretty seriously and say the words out loud in order to decide. It's interesting that I'd really never noticed the way I, or anyone else for that matter, really says the words. I've just always passively spoken and understood them being said.
