It’s right on:

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.

Inland north. Go figure, I have spent my whole life in southern California. Guess I failed.

"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.

Oddly, it didn’t ask about the letter “R” which does not exist on my vocabulary, but it did get my Boston accent correct.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast
 

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.

Lived in VA for 4 years, NYC for 3, and Philly suburbs for the rest, so I'd say they got it right.

Inland North. Makes sense as I was born and raised in Akron.

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."

LOLOLOL! I've lived in WI for more than 25 years, although I was born and raised in CA. I know that I have an ear that picks up other accents easily and unconsiously. You should have heard me when I lived in TX for 10 years!

Funny thing, I could hear a definite Wisconsin accent when I first moved here. I don't hear it any more.

I got “the West”. Lowest score was “The Northeast”. I have lived in Vermont my entire life.
