Boston? Sounds about right...
I've been asked if I'm from the East Coast (or in a few cases, Eastern Europe) all my life. Once, a linguist was very confused when I told her I wasn't from the East Coast, but from Eastern Utah (this is when I was living in Utah). I was the only person she ever got the accent wrong apparently. In other words, this quiz came as no surprise.

i got north central... it said some probably mistake you for a canadian... go figure, i am!
I got Inland North and Northeast second, which makes sense being from Western PA. People have asked if I am Canadian, from Wisconsin (something the quiz caught), and eastern Europe lots of times, haha.
Seriously, Boston? Why on earth would you have that accent?
Steve--I've gotten Eastern Europe a couple of times. The individuals who told me that were so confused when I said I was from Utah.
Yeah, I've been told I sound like a new englander all my life. Go figure!
My Mom's results (she has lived in Utah virtually all her life) from this quiz:
My results were Midland, with West being the middle of the pack next to Boston. It also said I had little accent, & would have a good broadcasting voice. Interesting, not the same as yours, but similar. However, I don't think I would be a good voice for TV or radio -- although my singing voice is low & getting lower, my speaking voice is high & squeaky.

Mine's the same as your Mom!
