It showed my highest affiliation with the New England area. Which is very accurate because I grew up in the Canadian Maritimes, practically neighbors.

Spot on.

Last time I took this test it put me in and around Oakland, California, which was very accurate since I'd lived in the Bay Area for much of my adult life. This time, for some reason, totally different locations -- Jackson, Mississippi; Rochester, New York; Honolulu, Hawaii; and the Bay Area. Personally, I'd guess this go-round is the more accurate since I have a tendency to use words as I learn them and continue using the words from that region. The West Coast uses freeway a lot; I don't. San Franciscans drink soda, I drink Co-Cola. And so on and so forth.

They got me...again!

Interesting. It put me in NYC, PA and NJ I was born and lived for the first 20 years. I lived in WA state for the past 35 years! Apparently it had no effect on me!

JSR22 02-02-2014 02:29 PM

!00% correct

Jhooman 02-02-2014 03:08 PM

I'm from southern California and it pegged me correctly.

It correctly put me in Houston (35 years) for "feeder road," something Florida should have learned to build along the freeways.

Totally wrong.

Good grief, I must be a New Yawker, specifically a Long-gi-lan-der

jblum315 02-03-2014 12:56 AM

They nailed it. New York City, North Carolina and Florida. Nothing remains of my childhood in Virginia.

Kinda spooky y'all. It said Fort Worth, Tx. Guess where I was born and raised?
