Working through this now ...
First few questions imply I'm strongly like all of the US except the South. Then the one about caramel, and it reverses. 
In the end, the closest matches for my Glasgow dialect are Boston, New York and Honolulu.

Montgomery, AL; Birmingham, AL; and Jackson, MS with all the red centered on the Tri-State area of Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. It pegged me pretty good.

Centered right around Michigan, where I'm from. We're like northern rednecks, but somehow have completely erased any accent, instead sounding like bland newscasters.

It means you sound cultured, unlike those red-necks down south.

I took the test and my Englishness probably caused it to have a seizure; it crashed trying to work out which part of the USA I was least from. Oops, sorry if I broke the internet.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. |

I got St Paul/Minneapolis, Omaha, and Rockford.
The first makes sense, saying I live about 3 minutes from downtown St Paul.
The other two are just spill over from the massive red glory that is Minnesota. Saying my match to them is... barely matching according to their scale.
Also, the devil beating his wife has been part of my vocabulary for a good 2-3 years now, after the first time I saw it on something similar like this. It is an all around great saying.

Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore.
Which makes some sense given that I've lived in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg.
However...those are three very different *accents*. LOL.
