I just took the quiz on findyourplace.com. It was kind of close in terms of the places it picked for me. I was perplexed at a couple of them. Here's my top 10:

1. Little Rock (nothing against little rock, but I wouldn't live in a non-coastal place and I'm quite surprised considering how I answered questions that Little Rock would even make the top 50, much less #1).
2. Honolulu (not bad).
3. Portland, Oregon (strange, considering I said "big" city, but I love Portland, so that's not too much of a stretch).
4. Las Vegas (this baffled me like Little Rock did, based on my answers).
5. San Francisco (where I currently live)
6. San Jose
7. Baltimore
8. San Diego
9. Orange County
10. Baton Rouge (huh?)

I got a kick out of this. Maybe I need to visit Little Rock?

Do you have a link? When I go to that site, it just shows "Coming Soon" and isn't interactive...

I don't know about findyourplace.com but I do know that ****.com Best Places to Live: Compare the Best Cities & Small Towns for You! has the same type of quiz.

That site is bull****. I got St. Louis and it said St. Louis is one of the safest cities in America. Complete BULL.

Portland, Oregon
Little Rock, Arkansas
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Baltimore, Maryland
Norfolk, Virginia
Charlotte, North Carolina
Knoxville, Tennessee
Washington, District of Columbia
Cincinnati, Ohio

Seattle, Washington
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Nashville, Tennessee
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Chesapeake-Virginia Beach, Virginia
Honolulu, Hawaii
Charleston, South Carolina

Providence, Rhode Island
San Francisco, California
Jacksonville, Florida
Atlanta, Georgia

New Haven, Connecticut
San Jose, California
Oakland, California
St. Louis, Missouri


I'd only live in 7 of the cities the site listed for me. The site is complete bullcrap, they might as well have a button to click that says "find your spot" which then randomly generates a list of crappy cities nobody would ever want to live in mixed with major US cities and send you on your merry way.

I used ****.com back in May, and here were mine:

Chesapeake-Virginia Beach, Virginia
Phoenix, Arizona
Norfolk, Virginia
Jacksonville, Florida
Charleston, South Carolina
Orlando, Florida
Wilmington, North Carolina
West Palm Beach, Florida
Tampa, Florida
Houston, Texas
Charlotte, North Carolina
Hampton, Virginia
Greenville, North Carolina
Augusta, Georgia
Rocky Mount-Stony Creek, North Carolina
Tucson, Arizona
Clearwater, Florida
Delray Beach, Florida
Austin, Texas
Kissimmee-St. Cloud, Florida
San Antonio, Texas
Miami, Florida
Scottsdale, Arizona
Biloxi-Gulfport, Mississippi


Some of them were a "No Thanks" pick, but I am indeed looking into at least one of them. I don't know, I just considered them suggestions and nothing more.

That is hilarious. There was a thread on this awhile back and my results were almost exactly the same as yours and inspired the same amount of head-scratching. My results:
