Your Result: The Midland
100%
"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.
Yes, I do!

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."
I do call carbonated drinks "pop"...been told we speak through our noses.

got 96% the west and 95% the midland. I grew up in western Canada. And I call it 'pop' 
That's kinda weird. I'm in NY and when my cousin from Colorado asked for "pop," nobody here knew what she was talking about...

Your Result: The South
80%That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.
I've never been to the Inland North.
with a high seventies nod to the south.
How did that happen? Well, I was raised in Michigan and moved to Florida thirty years ago, so they hit it right on the nose.
I used to say pop but haven't in years. It is soda in these here parts.
People in the south say I sound like a yankee. People in the north tell me I sound like a southerner.
Ya'll just can't figure me out and I get so confused!
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.

"You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine."
Ayuh, grew up in Maine.

I sound a lot like the guy on the right:
And since I don't live in the south any longer, when I get a little upset a sort of "southern Ricky Ricardo" thing happens and nobody can understand a word I say, which is probably for the best.
Waaay too simplified. Midland seems to be the default

This is just wrong
It would be nice if it indicated what all these percentages mean, because I don't know about you, but I can't make these add up to 100%
maybe it has something to do with USA exceptionalism "our accents add up to so much more than anybody else's - USA! USA!" 
Philadelphia 87/Inland North 85
'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.'
FROM New York City, from 8years > Long Island, from college, midwest, from after that, back east to DC.
And, notwithstanding accent, have a terrible speaking voice!
Yee-haw! Dagnabbit! Do you crazy yankees really rhyme "bag" with "vague"?
In other words, I have no accent.
Wahoo!
The midland 95%.
I would have said that tv and radio use "the west," as in "you don't have an accent." I would have thought that "the midland" would be quite a bit different than "the west."
Why? Because I was born in MO, and raised after the age of 7, in the west, where I absorbed that non-accent. I recognized the difference growing up, and can still pinpoint those differences when I hear them. They aren't that close. Unfortunately, I can remember constantly trying to correct my mother's pronunciations when I was a kid. To this day, at the age of 74, she tries not to say "worsh," but it comes out "wash" like "bash" instead of "wash" like "bosh." I still notice all those little differences in her speech, and in other relatives from KS and MO.
I was told, when I spent a few months in Atlanta, including my 5th birthday, that I had a "southern" accent for a bit when I got back home. It didn't last.
No surprise, I am a 6th generation Philadelphian
Of course I am tone deaf so a lot of people say I sound like an asshole. 
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."
No, I'm from Detroit. The Great Lakes are a bit of a drive from here.
Of course I call it "pop". What else would I call it? Sheesh!
