During my life I've lived in several different states, from Pennsylvania to California, including short stays in Miami, Florida and Austin, Texas, so I found this quiz quite interesting. I no longer have my Pittsburgh accent and I think the quiz backs that up. My apologies to any Canadian friends for whom this may not apply.

Very interesting quiz. I'm in the majority with General American English.
I speak 85% General American English, 10% Upper Midwestern and 5% Midwestern. How do we find the difference between upper midwestern and midwestern?
David, I think most younger Amricans speak general American English. Our regional accents seem to be disappearing thanks to television, I suspect.
Teresa, I don't know the difference between upper midwestern and midwestern. Unless they're talking about the Fargo/Minnesota/Sarah Palin dialect as Upper Midwestern? That would make sense, I think, you betcha.
Really interesting English Quiz. I think this is an interesting way to learn English also.
