38% Dixie. "Definitely a Yankee."
The test is fairly good, but focuses mostly on the Northeast and Southeast, and mostly ignores the plains and everything west of that. Also, sometimes it doesn't give enough options, or there are two or more that apply and I can only pick one. For example, for number 6, option A is cot=caught, and option C is caught=kawt. There is no option for my variety, which is cot=caught=kawt. Also, for number 14, if it's a plastic bag it's always a bag. If it's a paper bag, it can also be called a sack.
I love to think of what the British must think of my accent. Father=fawther, cot=cawt, caught=cawt. All one sound where they have three. When I was young, before I learned enough about phonetics to tell the difference between "ah" and "aw", I always wondered why the British pronounced "Amen" and "are" as "Awmen" and "awe".

24% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.
Considering that I am a Canadian Maritimer/Bluenoser

How about Japanese with a redneck Southern accent? My ex-gf, who's from Yokohama, thought that was pretty funny.
