Yep. I'm from the north all right, and yes, from the Great Lakes area.

Glad I have a meme to confirm that.

What American accent do you have?

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

If you are not from the North, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Southerner who hates Southern accents and tries really hard to "talk right"; or
(b) A New Yorker or New Jerseyan who doesn't have the full accent

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Different Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Same

This makes me wonder. Why do we take quizzes that confirm what we already know?

New York City. You are most definitely from New York City. Not New Jersey, not Connecticut. If you are from Jersey then you can probably get into New York City in 10 minutes or less.

The credibility of this test is plummeting, man.

Yeah. Well, the test does say it doesn't successfully test for a Pittsburgh accent, so I can imagine what it would do with a foreign accent.
