This is my own little soapbox. Disclaimer: It is not written by someone you think you know, but by her evil twin. Absolutely nothing said here is true. Everything, including the last statement, is a complete work of fiction. This blog is completely boring, and includes entries on when I last washed my dishes, how many pairs of socks I've crocheted, and the occasional rant. These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Quiz
Several people have done this quiz now, but I don't believe it:
Dunno where the Yankee came from (unless that is just the closest to "Canadian" it can get), but the Dixie could be from living in NC for six years. You do tend to pick up things if you're exposed to it frequently enough.
As for the quiz itself...a friend of mine who was a linguistics major says the quiz is terrible. It doesn't account for a lot of variation, and leaves off options on some of the questions.

I agree with your linguistics friend. ;)
