My American accent... who knew?

So, I'm orginally from Maine. This should come as no shock to people who know me, only because I've told them. Otherwise, I pronounce Rs, even in combination with a preceeding vowel, never say "a'yuh" and, generally speaking have no accent. Really. I know people think they don't have an accent, but I really, really don't. So isn't it interesting that this ridiculous quiz pegged me. (Well, except they apparently don't know there's anything north of Rhode Island, except Boston, a whole accent unto itself.) Am I missing something?

Your Result: The Northeast
 

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Wow I have none! the quiz said so. It gave me midland. MO, IL, that area. Pretty close.
