Born and raised in Michigan. "Barely Dixie" must come from those couple of years at Fort Hood.

Question #19 is unfair. A TRUE SOUTHERNER calls that a "beer barn"... that wasn't even a choice so it lumped me in with the yankees.

If you took the test twice and your score went down, that's not good news.

54% Dixie

About what I'd expect. I consider myself a Southerner according to family heritage but I grew up in Miami so most of my accent comes and goes depending on who I'm around.

Some of those questions I take issue with though.

Wow, I guess talking/hanging out with Southerners lately is rubbing off on me.

73% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I can't believe that was my score ! If I was any farther north I would be in Canada ! Two questions didn't even have a correct option given, as far as I was concerned .
