About This Quiz

When we think of the Northeastern United States, traits like being quick-witted and fast-paced come to mind. Other regions are known for their unique characteristics. After you answer the questions in this quiz, we'll be able to see which area of the country most matches your personality and the way you think.

Are you as polite as a Georgia peach? As laid back as the Arizona sunset? The questions we ask might not involve any particular state or area, but they will help get to the heart of you. Your personality is the star here! Whether you are as elusive as a hermit crab or as outgoing as a puppy, each of your little quirks will go a long way in pairing you up with the perfect region. 

Even if you've never spent a day in your life living in a particular region, it matches your personality better than the place where you currently live. It all depends on the things you find interesting, the way you interact with others and the way you see yourself. By the time you finish these questions, you will have given us enough information to pair you with the area you should consider calling home. Where will it be?
