I find it quite interesting that I live in the Heartland of America and yet I have 0% of those speaking traits.
I can't decide if that's a good thing.

It's a good thing! *grin*
I'm listening to my kids very closely so they don't pick up the accent.
BTW, here are my results.

25% Yankee
15% Dixie
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern
There were no options for some of the things I say, though. For example, it's a route (out) when it's a highway, except for Route 66, of course! *grin* It's a route (root) when it's travelled by a delivery person or a newspaper carrier.
I also use both cellar and basement. No option for that choice.
Hmmm these were my results
55% General American English
40% Yankee
5% Dixie
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern
