Inland North. No accent whatsoever. Come on! I pronounce all the examples differently. And the result is that I’m from New York? Totally stoopid test! I have no accent whatsoever.

Agreed. This test was highly inaccurate in IMHO. Yes, I am originally from N.Y., but when I return to that area, they can definitely hear that I spent most of my time elsewhere. Likewise, I can hear that NY accent clearly a mile away. So, basically, according to this test, if you correctly differential sounds between different words, you are a Yankee. If you can’t hear the difference between words like “stalk” and “stock” that makes you inland North....nope, I aint buyin’ it.
