52% Dixie - must be all that time in GA, NC, and TX after growing up on the 'left' coast.

Basic test results: 53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

Advanced test results: 22% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

I either spent too much time watching Dukes of Hazzard. Or not enough.

Two questions the test might have asked are:
  1. When you were young, what did you call your father?
    1. Dad
    2. Daddy
    3. Pop (or Pops)
    4. Sir
    5. By his first name
  2. As an adult, what do you call your father?
    1. Dad
    2. Daddy
    3. Pop (or Pops)
    4. Sir
    5. By his first name.

"35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee."

I was once asked, "If you were to have lived during the Civil War, who would you have fought for?"

My answer was neither, I'd already be out west in the Rocky Mountains, looking for Gold, Silver, Cattle, Land, etc. I do however, respond well to the advances of southern women.

Good questions...others I thought of...
What do you call the father of your father?
A. Grandfather
B. Grand-dad
C. Grampa
D. Pe-Paw
E. Pappy

What do you call the mother of your father?
A. Grandmother
B. Grand-mom
C. Gramma
D. Me-Maw
E. Nana

Any question about sweet tea or a porch versus a deck.

Of course, Lewis Grizzard (RIP)and Jeff Foxworthy have been able to point out southern-isms for a long time now.
