About This Quiz

Even if it's been a minute since your last geography class, you know the United States is big. "Big" as in big BIG. Because it's such a huge country (only Russia and Canada have it beat), things can vary quite a bit. The East Coast is quite a bit different than the West Coast, my dude. That's what the whole Biggie and Tupac beef was about, right?! But this isn't about the coasts. We want to see if we can guess if you really belong in the North or the South.

As we said, the U.S. is a big place, and when it comes to divvying it up, there's no distinction even close to as important as the North vs. the South. But just because you were born on one side of the Mason-Dixon Line or the other, is that the part of the country you truly belong on? Your soul knows the truth, and if you answer our questions honestly, we will too.

So, come on, we know you're a little curious to find out what your personality says about you geographically. Can we guess if you really belong in the North or the South? There's only one way to find out, fam ... take our quiz!
