Keep in mind that it judges pretty liberally. I was 100% Dixie even though I had some Yankee answers in there.

Some people in the South think all people from the North are Yankees, when most people from the Midwest know that Yankees are people from the Northeast.

"43% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom."

That's a pretty good percentage of Southern content after having spent the first 41 years in the Northeast! I'm happy.

"36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee."

Sheesh. I thought I'd been here long enough. I think questions 17 and 18 are what gave me away.

81% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?


The one about "aunt" differs along racial lines, as does the one about "Coke." So the poll is a little bit deaf to differences between black and white southerners.

Yankee parents, raised in the South, lived in Ohio for 30+ years. So, yeah, that's about right.

"25% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle."

I woulda expected 100% Yankee. And for NYC and LI, at least, "caught = kawt." I dunno why they consider that Dixie.

I'd take the test, but I'm pretty sure I'd rate a Yankee...



Alright, I took it anyway:

16% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

I'm shocked... :lol:

I blame growing up in suburban Atlanta for that missing 17%. Plus, I second what Jay said.
