I thought this was really fun. It pinpointed me pretty exactly.
I think there are different versions, though. I’ve taken it a few times, and this last time it didn’t have “what do you call it when the sun shines when it’s raining”. So if you’re curious, you might want to take it a couple of times.

Modesto, Fresno, Boise for me. Close-ish, but not quite right.
I mean, only New Jersey says “Mischief Night” and so these things are always going to pinpoint pretty exactly. It got me basically North Jersey, where I live though not the part I grew up in.
Put me right in Philly.
Does anyone have a gift link?
Here you go (hopefully it works):
I’ve lived in a lot of places across the US. This pinpointed my formative years pretty well, and more specifically where my grandparents and parents grew up.
Also, I have to say, what is wrong with the rest of you?? 
LAWyer very clearly starts with the word LAW, not LOY (as I tell my husband who grew up in NY state.)
It placed me in Freemont, Santa Rosa and San Jose all in Northern California. I have lived in Southern California since I was 3 years old.
Ha!
My map share link doen’t work but it shows me mostly California or the NE. I was born in Texas, lived in Toronto most of my childhood, and have been in the PNW for 15yrs. But my parents are New Englanders so I guess that matters.
Wow, put me right in Detroit, 15 miles upriver from where I spent my formative years. I sent it to DH who never went to the same school twice until his last two years of high school. It will be interesting to see where he lands, although I don’t notice that he speaks any differently than I do or uses different vocabulary.
ETA: DH’s first try put him in Des Moines (he was born in Toledo, but spent his first threes years in IA while his dad was getting his MFA there), but he didn’t capture a screen shot. Second try had a couple of different questions but still put him solidly in the Midwest:
It put me right where I grew up. That’s not a surprise, as two of the words immediately give me away.
Mine was close to where I grew up in one location (I actually grew up SE of OKC which is in the same splotch of dark red), but weird that Santa Rosa, CA was similar.
My daughter’s SO makes fun of my “southern” accent, but he’s from MA which is least similar to me so that’s why I sound funny to him I guess. Parts of the deep south were also least similar to my Okie accent so I made sure to send him the map lol.
It showed Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, and Jackson, MS. I’ve never been to Jackson, MS, but I did live in the Virginia suburbs of DC for ages 4-5, moved overseas for elementary school, and then moved back to the DC area for ages 12 - 18.
My map is pretty “generic Western US”. I grew up in the PNW but have spent most of my adult life in Texas.
This was fun to take, but weirdly it placed me in three locations I’ve never lived: Grand Rapids, MI and Winston-Salem, NC. And Greensboro. None of my people are from any of those locations either.
What fun! It put me exactly where I have lived my whole life!
Yeah, if you answered “Devil’s Night” for the night before Halloween, you’re from the Detroit area. Dead giveaway.
The results have me in Albuquerque, Denver and Overland Park. I lived in Denver in the early 80’s, but other than that the quiz is way off.
Or you watched The Crow with Brandon Lee at a formative age.
