It showed I was from Albuquerque which is where I lived from age 2 to 22. Unbelievable! BTW, I made sure to use the terms and pronunciations I heard and used as a child. The primary key phrase which nailed me to Albuquerque or Denver was "frontage road".
What astounded me was that it correctly identified my southwestern home town although my mother was from Baltimore and my father from NY/NJ. I feel I must have picked up some of their accents but I guess what one hears from one's peers at school outweighs parental accent influences.
