What American accent do you have?
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.

I'm also bothered by the fact that I did not grow up on the West Coast (how DARE they?!) I had a friend who did this and was told that her accent might be mistaken for that of a Canadian. Maybe she answered ABOUT differently?
I did some reflection and the only explanation I could think of for my "accent" is that I went to an American school as a child. For example, I say SORRY as "SAR-ry" instead of the "Canadian" "SORE-ry" (a word, we Canadians, like to use)

8. "mary" v. "merry" v. "marry": ALL SAME
9. first vowel in "horrible": like "whore"
10. "pen" v. "pin": different
