What American accent do you have?Your Result: The West
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
The Midland (almost maxed)
Boston (bar midway through)
North Central (bar midway through)
The South (small bar)
The Inland North (very small bar)
Philadelphia (very small bar)
The Northeast (very very small bar)

I kinda thought Midland would come out on top, but they didn't have the famous Minnesotan "oo/o" sound anywhere in their example questions. Everyone in Missouri thinks I am from the upper midwest even though I haven't lived there since I was four and was actually raised in Tennessee.

It got me totally wrong. Said I had a Midland accent or no accent at all. I was born and raised in WV and have a distinct hick accent.

Yeah, I think this test would be much better if it gave some more examples.

Hey!
"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."

Your Result: The Midland
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
Northern Indiana but pretty close
