Yankee or Dixie?
Yankee or Dixie Survey
Quote:Yankee or Dixie?
Check on your dialect and see if you might have crossed over to the "other side"! Simply click on the correct answer. As you go, the quiz will automatically interpret each answer to show you what your answer implies about you. When you are done, press Compute My Score. Your score will be calculated as a percentage: 0% is pure Yankee and 100% is pure Dixie.
Do not change your answer during the test as it will ruin the score. You may do this after scoring is calculated to see the other answers.
If you make a mistake, hit Clear below to restart the test!
This test is based on the Harvard Computer Society Dialect Survey of 30788 respondents, and is for entertainment use only.
I turned out to be:
36% (Yankee). You have a good Yankee score.
43% (Yankee). There are traces of Yankee in you.
Not really surprising since I was raised in CT.
I'm 41% yank. That was fun.
36%
(Musta been them formative years in Oklahoma pulling my score up...)
43% (Yankee). There are traces of Yankee in you.
Pretty typical for a canuck, close to centre, we sound like everybody.
37% (Yankee). You have a good Yankee score.
Oh, really?

I'm with LittleK and Dys at 41% Yankee from the Mid-West. Born and lived in Northern California all my life until two years ago. My adopted mother was from Missouri, my adopted father from Vermont.
Funny, there was a slight difference in the accent between people living on the ocean side of San Francisco Bay from the inland side.

26% Yankee. I thought I'd be more in the middle.
39% (Yankee). You have a good Yankee score.
45% Yankee. Though I hate the team, I am from NY. Guess it shows...
45% yankee. I know that pronunciation tends to lean toward Missoura, though.
