ABOUT THE TEST: Most of the questions used in this quiz are based on those in the Harvard Dialect Survey,
a linguistics project begun in 2002 by Bert Vaux and Scott Golder. The
original questions and results for that survey can be found on Dr.
Vaux's current website.
The data for the quiz and maps shown here come
from over 350,000 survey responses collected from August to October 2013
by Josh Katz, a graphics editor for the New York Times who developed
this quiz. The colors on the large heat map correspond to the
probability that a randomly selected person in that location would
respond to a randomly selected survey question the same way that you
did. The three smaller maps show which answer most contributed to those
cities being named the most (or least) similar to you.
