Mine is Northern, the accent that news networks look for. Look out, Katie C, I'm gunning for your job.

As a linguistics major, I have seen far more thorough tests. Those peg my accent as Upstate New York, which is included in this test's "Northern" area (and is actually somewhere I've never been). However, in addition to Upstate New York, the web site also lists St. Paul, Chicago, Detroit, and Western New England as Northern. And those don't sound the same at all, except maybe to a foreigner.
