What American accent do you really have?

Alright, since the last quiz, which is the most popular thing on the internet right now, was giving out a ridiculous amount of wrong answers, I made a much better US English accent quiz. Remember, this is not about where you're from. It's about what accent you have and that's not always the same thing.

Please don't be disappointed if I left your region out (like Pittsburgh or Vermont) since I couldn't think of any good questions to single them out. This is about what accent you have, not where you're from. Some places like Florida don't have their own accent so people from there usually get something like "Midland" or "Western." And did I mention that this is about what accent you have and not where you're from?

1. What is your age?
Under 18 Years Old
18 to 24 Years Old
25 to 30 Years Old
31 to 40 Years Old
41 to 50 Years Old
51 to 60 Years Old
Over 60 Years Old
2. What is your gender?
Male
Female
3. We start with the first standard question. If you say the words "cot" and "caught" do they come out sounding the same or different?
Different
Same

4. Now how do you say "don" and "dawn"?
Different
Same
Same-ish. Not quite the same but maybe a little bit different.
5. So how would you say the words "hock" and "hawk"?
Different
Same
Almost, but not quite, the same
6. How do you say "caller" and "collar"?
Different
Same
Very nearly the same. But not quite.
7. Before we actually look at questions about a different vowel, how do you usually say the word "on"? Does it rhyme with "don" or with "dawn"?
don
dawn
both, since I say don and dawn the same
8. The famous question of "Mary," "merry," and "marry." How do you say them?
All 3 are different
All 3 are the same
I say Mary and merry the same, but marry different from them
None of the above
9. How do you say the vowel in the first syllable of "horrible"?
Same vowel as in "horse" or "horn"
Same vowel as in "hot" or "hock"
Neither
10. The words "pen" and "pin," how do they sound as you say them typically?
Different
Same
Close; pen sounds almost like pin but not quite
11. What about "feel" and "fill"?

Very very close, but still not the same
12. When you say "about," "mouth," and "house," do they have the same vowel sound as "loud," "down," and "now"?
Different
Same
13. When you say "like," "night," and "rice," do they have the same vowel sound as "tide," "prize," and "five"?
Different
Same

15. Do you say "whales" and "Wales" differently or the same?
Different
Same
16. Do you say "do" and "dew" differently?
Different (dew is more like "d'yew")
Same
17. Last question. You can probably guess the point of the question, and if you're not honest about it, this quiz won't work! The long I in words like "ride," "dive," "rise." How often do you ever turn that vowel into an "aa" or "ah" kind of sound (as oppo
A lot
Not often but not never
Only when I'm not thinking about how I'm speaking
Never
