Same here, but it has that damn "Mary, Merry, Marry" question and none of the answers ever match the way perfectly sensible and normal people like me say them.
Mary and Marry are exactly the same (with the 'a' having the same sound as in 'bat') and can only be distinguished by context. Merry sounds like 'meh-ree'.

I'm squarely in the St. Louis yellow there but Cincy, Columbus and Pittsburgh have serious accents so it's a very, very general quiz. I suppose they could narrow it down to region with a few questions. Still, a fun quiz. :)
More on everywhere and nowhere. Although I was born in Colorado, part of my growing up was in Minnesota and in my working life I have lived in Colorado, Alaska, California, Texas, Maryland, Spain, Alabama, and France and I did my Army time in Germany.
What American accent do you have? (Best version so far) Western Western is kind of neutral, but not quite since it's still possible to tell where you're from. So you might not actually be from the West (but you probably are). If you really want to sound "neutral," learn how to say "stock" and "stalk" differently.

The other options are all absurd.

But I do want to thank you folks from the midwest that traveled on out to California, for not stopping in Colorado.

So I guess that qualifies as all over.
