My "Accent"

So, since I've been in Israel, I've been told many times that I have an American accent. That said, I was told a couple of weeks ago that I had a southern accent...no way! I mean, I realize that my accent tends to vary depending on who I am talking to. I guess that can be good in adapting to a new culture, but confusing at other times. In the end though, I have a very western or "Californian" accent. I even took this test to prove it. You should try it too :) Thanks, James, for the link.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
 

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
