How do you score?

[maillotpois]

"82% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?"

LOL!!!

Mine: "34% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee."

That test is whacked.

I'm 44% Dixie, but yet only 1 of my responses was labeled as 'southern'. And that's just association by marriage (I married a Southerner, so a crawfish is a crawfish)!

I'm about 1% Dixie, in reality.

What I did find funny is that the largest % of my answeres were Michigan/Great Lakes in origin. I only lived there for 3 years!

Me too - and I've never lived anywhere but California.

36% Dixie

41% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. Dixie? I've grew up in California, then moved to Washington state for a few years, onto Colorado for another couple, up to Wyoming for 9 years and have been in Utah for 17...Dixie?

[HillSlugger]

39% dixie. Grew up on Long Island but have worked my way down the Atlantic coast to Maryland.

63% Dixie.Well under the Mason-Dixon Line

We're all from Kentucky, I guess that's accurate!

[anakiwa]

21% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

I didn't think I was any- but then I did spend 7 months in Georgia the year after I graduated from college.

[kelownagirl]

33% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Hmmm, I'm Canadian. I have no accent.

[VeloVT]

Hee hee.

20% Dixie. Wow, you are a duke of yankeedom!

Umm, I think I actually am. The 20% is probably accounted for by the fact that my mom is from Alabama. Dad is from super waspy area of Connecticut and those are the relatives I actually know (Mom LEFT the south).

However, I take exception to the statement that "New York and New Jersey are the heart of Yankeedom" (possible response for question #7). Shows that this test was written by a southerner. Umm, those are both Mid-atlantic states and Yankees hail from New England. What about "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"? If I had to pinpoint the heart of Yankeedom it would probably be somewhere in Massachusetts, Boston perhaps.

You can tell an authentic yankee by his or her accent (maybe proving that I'm not one, 'cause I have lots of "common all over the US" answers) and variants of that beautiful New England accent are not to be found in New York or New Jersey, but are easy to find in Maine or New Hampshire, or Vermont, or even Mass.

I could hardly understand the people in Maine. I thought they had a British accent. But it was a lovely accent. We were a crew at our cabin in Maine with our mixture of Boston and Southern accents.

[sandra]

OMG! My results were: 100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

[Eden]

Same here Mimi - that's what we get for being North Easterners

[sandra]

I can't believe all y'all are scoring so low!

[Chile Pepper]

Well, I scored 60% on the first test--barely in Dixie

But I only scored 14% on the advanced test.

[VeloVT]

Hmmmm....

20% on the "original test"
21% on the "advanced test"

oddly consistent.
