Not very accurate for me. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, which has a peculiar accent found nowhere else in the country. But my parents were from Philadelphia and didn't have that accent, and worked hard for us not to acquire it. I went to college in the south. In my 40s I lived in Michigan for 25 years. The NYT put me somewhere around the Dakotas, states I've never even driven through!
