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.

This is bullshit. You sound like the mom from Bobby's World, but you've got that Canadian thing going on. You have probably the funniest accent of anyone I know.

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.

I'm from Pennsylvania.

The Inland North.

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

But Philly and The Northeast were right behind it in the scale.

I'm from Long Island.

I call it soda.

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

That's bullshit.

According to this, the Midland.

I used to have a bit of a London accent. Americans thought I was British, but Brits knew I was American. Now I have this awful, nasal suburban white guy mid-Atlantic thing going on.

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

You paid attention during 97% of high school!
85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Pfft I never received a high school diploma. I dropped out in grade nine and many years later received a GED.

Sorry to say this, but you just aren't popular. Hopefully you are the kind of person who doesn't care about that. But if you do, try to be a little more friendly and see where it takes you.

Your 'Do You Want the Terrorists to Win' Score: 98%

You are a terrorist-loving, Bush-bashing, "blame America first"-crowd traitor. You are in league with evil-doers who hate our freedoms. By all counts you are a liberal, and as such cleary desire the terrorists to succeed and impose their harsh theocratic restrictions on us all. You are fit to be hung for treason! Luckily George Bush is tapping your internet connection and is now aware of your thought-crime. Have a nice day.... in Guantanamo!

You aren't so popular. Well, you could have done worse. But you definitely fall near the bottom end of popularity. Sorry about that. Maybe you can try to be more friendly and outgoing or reinvent your style and see what happens.

You're a bit of an oddball, but I can't say that that's a bad thing. You think clearly, and you may be a little more involved in life that takes place in an age group older that yourself, and have friends from an older generation as well.

What Kind of Holiday Retail Clerk are You?
Your Result: The Grinch

Merry F*%#ING Christmas! Bitter, cynical and overworked, you are fed up with the holiday, the rude shoppers who use baby strollers as shopping carts, and the fact that you have had to listen to the same lame loop tape of 8 holiday classic songs being butchered by the latest American Pop Talent since labor day. If one more person asks you where your Christmas spirit is, you are going to hang them by the chimmeny with care with a string of festive lights and tinsel.

Ahahaha that is spot on

Your Result: Mrs. Claus

You have been there longer than everyone else. You are a Permanent Employee, and not seasonal help at all. You are in charge and you know it, but you let the manager think he's the boss. Everyone looks to you to for inspiration, and you keep those holiday cookies coming to keep your co-workers motivated. you don't really want authority, but like the status and special treatment that you receive as a "vet." For you it is a winter wonderland indeed.

Decently accurate, but why are all my results getting gendered the wrong way???

You like your women to be sexy and adventurous with a little bit of the girl next door thrown in. You want the good girl with the proper manners one min and the swashbuckling pirate lover the next.

How is saying that having things clean "doesn't matter" make you switch from Tommy Lee to Kiera Knightly?

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.
