The higher your score, the deeper from the South you are coming.

100% Yankee in North Carolina.
I'm originally from Pennsylvania but have obviously assimilated well in my over five decades south of the Mason-Dixon line. I thought for sure that "creek" would have tripped me up since I can't shake the old habit of calling it "crick". Likewise "iron" is still "arn" to me -- but that's also common in east Tennessee.
One Texas/Southern idiom that came natural to me is "fixin' to". Near the West Virginia border where I was raised, that was fairly common and I used it since childhood. Now, I'm fixin' to hit the post button.
94% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
Texas isn’t quite southern.
6% Dixie. Need help digging out of the snow?
30% Dixi
I must say, that was more accurate than I thought it’d be. But for the record, correct pronunciation of “caramel” is not relative to your region. Like “often,” it is not said how it’s written. “Car-a-mel” is simply wrong.
100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
Better be with my name.............
43% Barely in Yankeedom. That would be right since I am in Canada.
8% dixie
My result was close to yours, 41% Dixie. I live in Illinois, and I’ve also lived in California, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Guam, Japan, Ohio, and Iraq.
On standard test: 100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
On Advanced Test: 100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
It appears to be more of a rural/urban test to me.
I clocked a 35 percent Dixie.
So, there it is...
67% Yankee on basic test, 79% [or thereabouts] Yankee on the advanced test. One unswered question, re: form of greeting. No availabel choice for “ How You doin’?”
62% Dixie. Well under the Mason-Dixon Line
90% Dixie for me
100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
Born and bred.
Is it possible to have a Yankee head and a Dixie heart?
What?!? Just 75% Dixie?!? I don’t think so unless you consider Texas as more western than southern. I have to strongly disagree with at least one of the answers.
“Tp-ing” is Texan, not “wrapping.” No, you tp a house and you wrap a present.
As in: "Hey, Bubba, how's Momma 'n them?"
