Incidentally, it pegged me for Boston which was pretty much right on target, even though I've lived most of my adult life in the south.

Ha! Guess I have conflicted speech patterns. my test shows wichita, kansas city and springfield. was born and raised in kansas, but have lived the majority of my adult life (the last 25 years) in kansas city, mo. so the test was pretty spot on for me.
