Umm, a Kentucky accent I suppose. Though I've been told by some Northerners that I don't sound Southern.
My result is "The Midland."
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

For some reason everybody always say to me that I have a southern accent.I have alot of relatives from rural western Pennsylvania,so that might be the reason why I have somewhat of a southern accent.
I just took the test, I don't understand the results at all. Im originally from southeastern Mass between Boston and Providence. I do have an accent and it definitely gives me away as being from Mass. This test result said I have an accent from Minnesota, North Central accent. It then said people probably ask me if I am Canadian alot. I think a drunk dreamed this test up.

I would say that's about right. But I have had a few people mistake my accent for New York or Southerner before. Must be the way I say certain words.
No surprise my accent is southern since I'm from Lousiiana. One thing I might add: if you don't talk like the locals, YOU have an accent! No matter where you live or you're from. Although the Midland accent seems the most clear sounding of any, it is still an accent.
Now here is one for the books: A town in eastern La named Rayville is pronounced "RAY vl" in Northeastern La and "Ray ville" in NW La. I notice everything ending with a ville is pronounced like that including Louisville, a major thoroughfare in Monroe. Like Loo uh vl Kentucky. Yet 95 miles west of there we pronounce the ville. When I go to Monroe, I am careful to say those places like the locals do, because it automatically sets me off as an outsider.
Another word is acorn. Pronounced around here akern. No corn in the word. Maybe these different pronounciations mean some people in the South actually like to speak faster than they are known for. And a hickory tree is known as a "hickernut" tree
Born and raised in Michigan, 100% Inland North. No surprise there.
Your Result: The Inland North
You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
