What American accent do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz |
I pretty much grew up in El Paso - - Second grade through high school -- WAY out on the western tip of Texas, with perhaps a lot more Western US and Mexican influence on speech than South or East Texas. When I moved to Fort Worth to attrend university, I noticed that not only the accents but even the speech patterns were a LOT different.
Other tests - - My Beloved Bride posted one in her blog. Frankly, I have more faith in being able to assess an accent with a short series of questions than being able to tell how ignorant/intelligent a person is by the same means. Since she scored higher on that one than I did, I'll decline to post THAT result.
There's another one, though, pertaining to IQ scores. My results are a good deal lower than I scored when I entered high school, but that was a LONG time ago. I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed. I haven't dulled out as much as I had feared. In any case, though, - - -

Cool - I got 133!
First time visitor on your blog here(via lawdog's links).
I got northeastern accent(I'm not even American), and the other test gave me a 151 IQ.
I took the IQ test and scored a 133, too.
In 1981 I took a REAL IQ test and scored a 141. I blame my children and those damn spatial awareness questions for the supposed drop in intelligence.
You people actually gave it all that personal info for a on-line IQ test ? NONE of you deserve your score ! You EARNED Z-E-R-O !
