So the quiz says that I'm a Canadian with a mostly but not completely Canadian accent.
Also, the quiz should be called What American dialect do you have?

North Central. This is what everyone calls a "Minnesota accent." If you saw "Fargo" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Some Americans may mistake you for a Canadian.

If you are not a northern Minnesotan, you are probably one of these:
(a) A Yooper from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; or
(b) A Canadian who has a mostly but not completely Canadian accent

I think sometimes it's easy to overthink/underthink the questions. I don't think we sound different at all!

I think I did this before and got something different, but I did it now and got Canadian, too. Pretty sure my accent hasn't changed. Weird!

When I was doing it I definitely talked out loud to myself... a lot!

I did too, except very quietly, because I was in a room full of people!
