What Kind Of Accent Do You Have?

This was a silly little quiz that I came across but enjoyed taking it nonetheless. There are two distinct disadvantages to this particular quiz:

  1. It’s supposedly evaluating your accent but it’s a written test in which your perceptions determine the outcome (rather than an unbiased listener).
  2. The questions are so few that the accuracy of the assessment is at least mildly suspect.

OK, so I’m probably over-analyzing what was intended to be a fun quiz. That’s just the way I work and while this quiz may be purely entertainment, it doesn’t hurt to critically analyze the world around us in order to not be misguided by information sources that aren’t exactly what they appear at first.

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.
