Accent quiz revisited

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)
Northeastern
This could either mean an r-less NYC or Providence accent or one from Jersey which doesn't sound the same. Just because you got this result doesn't mean you don't pronounce R's.(People in Jersey don't call their state "Joisey" in real life)

while it -is- more region-specific, most of the west is one big chunk... of course, this is probably because they all talk the same.

I really want to know if there's a different result for a non "r-less" NYC accent - I'm from NYC, but I've picked up some of the bad Boston accent habits in the past couple years.

Cool :-) It says I sound like I'm from Minnesota and might be mistaken for a Canadian ;-), but my remote manager in Minneapolis doesn't sound Canadian at all :-) I wonder if she would be cool with taking this test.
