That’s… huh. I didn’t think that’s what I sounded like. I betcha it isn’t, either.

Your Result: The Northeast
Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak. |

Having lived in NJ and NY area myself, and also haven’t talked to you… umm… NO WAY.
You sound Swedish. *nods*
The quiz is quite a bit inaccurate. It rated me as having a Midland accent, even though I have a quintessential Western/Californian accent. They don’t ask enough questions, quite simply. I didn’t see one Western-specific question, for instance.
I have to agree that you overall sound like you have a European accent. However, that being more prominent than how you say certain English words, it’s easy to pay attention to your European accent instead of listening more distinctly to how you say certain English words independently. Now I know to listen past the first accent next time and listen to the independent words.
Anyway, I agree with Steve that it didn’t ask enough questions, even though mine is pretty accurate as a Midland accent (or not having one / much of one). Even still, there are some phrases that I know I use that distinguish my speech as not only American, but Texan additionally.
