Which State Do You Come From?

[missing]

Since they only have a one in fifty chance of getting it right, I suppose I shouldn't be shocked they thought this native New Yorker came from Iowa.

 

[AxelAnnie]

California
Idiot alert! I did not realize there was a survey thingie.

I seem to be from Texas

 

[quartz]

Good lord it thinks I’m from New Jersey.
I am Iowa born, but my family has been in Michigan for 5 generations!

I made it to the 2nd question. I know these quizzes often have questions where none of the options feel right, but the choices of Favorite Sport being baseball, football, basketball or "Sorry, sports are too violent for me!" is too dumb for words.

I got half way through it when the page stalled. It brought me back to question #1. I guess I should have used the Edge browser. Oh well. Some of the questions were way off base for me to answer anyway. I did choose Barbecue for one of them.

From one of disorientation.

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

It thinks this born-and-bred Virginian is from Hawai'i.

I started on the quiz, then I wished that I had not. Many questions should have had a 'none of the above' option. For example, for music 'Classical' was not offered as an option. I did the best I could and I got 'Hawaii' for the state I live in. Actually I live in a desert- Arizona! May be the quiz meant to say what state I would like to live in? I wouldn't mind living in beautiful Hawaii.

 

[paskatefan]

The results said I'm from Hawaii, LOL. Way off - I'm from Pennsylvania. I agree with you, Vash. So many of the options just did not apply, and a "none of the above" would have been more appropriate. I thought I would get one of the New England or other East Coast states.

 

[Japanfan]

I got Hawaii too (took the quiz although I'm Canadian).

Probably lots of people would pick Hawaii if they had to choose a state in which they'd like to live.

Although not today, with impending doom on its way to Hawaii.

 

[purple skates]

Hawaii must be a default state because I got it too.

 

[Vagabond]

I was born in the State of Innocence.

 

[Simone411]

I was born in the State of Innocence.

And I was born in the state of Confusion.

 

[pollyanna]

Hawaii must be a default state because I got it too.

Same here. I'm from Kentucky.

 

[Cachoo]

The results say New Jersey. I'm from Kansas but I have visited New Jersey more than any other state because my father was the oldest of eight children and they all reside in New Jersey. So maybe the quiz was not that far off.

 

[gkelly]

Mine also guessed Hawaii -- I have no idea why.

More often than not I did have a real answer to the question but it wasn't available as an option, so I had to choose the least worst option available. The test could have been a lot more accurate if they had allowed for 5-20 options on many of the questions instead of just 4 for all of them.

I understand why write-in answers wouldn't help with the kinds of algorithms they must be using. If someone really wanted to get to know individuals or even allow for a human-based guessing process, open-ended questions would be better.

Another Hawaii result here ... Although a lot of Michigan is bordered by water, it's severely lacking in palm trees, pineapples and hurricanes.

Speaking of Hawaii and hurricanes, sending best wishes to all as Hurricane Lane approaches.

 

[Impromptu]

It guessed Iowa for me... I'm from WV, but have lived in Minnesota for over 25 years, so Iowa isn't a bad guess. I mean, it's wrong, but at least it's a neighboring state.

 

[skategal]

I also got Hawaii (I'm Canadian but was born on an island in the other ocean....so it was sort of close... )

I'm curious what state you would get if you picked all the religious answers.

 

[PDilemma]

It thinks this born-and-bred Virginian is from Hawai'i.

Born in Ohio, lived in Nebraska since age two. Result: Hawaii.

Like @gkelly, I found the choices for answers required me to just settle on one. There are no beaches here, but I would like a first date on a beach over the other options it gave.

 

[pollyanna]

I'm curious what state you would get if you picked all the religious answers.

I tried this, just for fun. It gave me Iowa. Still from Kentucky, though.

 

[vgerdes]

Apparently, I'm Hawaiian - even though I was born, raised, and still make my home in Minnesota.

 

[Jenny]

Sounds like there are only 4 possible answers to this quiz. Read not long ago about someone who's job it was to make these click-bait quizzes up. Guess there's no incentive to improve them in any way, since we all just do it anyway, then complain about it, while whatever site it is racks up the 30 clicks it took for us to do it

 

[merrywidow]

Hilarious! I'm another that turned up IOWA. I've driven through it but never lived there. Originally, from New Jersey & have lived in Nevada, Alabama & Montana.

 

[Tinami Amori]

I expected New York, got New Jersey. Must say that it was very hard for me to take this survey. There are over 35 questions. Only 2 offered a set of choices where i could actually find 1 choice of something i liked. ALL other questions offered choices where i hated or did not like any of the 4, and had to chose "the one i hate the least".

The choices of 4 drinks were all horrible. The choices of 4 colors i can't stand. The 4 presidents, none of which i would pick. First date? horrible choices! Favorite movie genre? none of what they listed..... Oy!

 

[Vagabond]

I expected New York, got New Jersey.

 

[tony]

I’m from Ohio and got New Jersey.

 

[Kasey]

Another Hawaiian here. I wouldn't mind, but instead I live in a land-locked state!

 

[Vash01]

It seems Hawaii offers many people what they love. This quiz should have been about where we would like to live, rather than where we do live.

 

[aliceanne]

I did it twice. The first time it said Hawaii because I am laid back, the second time it said NJ because I am high energy. The only thing that I changed was the first time I chose summer and things that go with it (fedora, sailboat, bare feet etc), the second time I chose winter, boots, wool hat etc.

I don’t have a preference, I like snow and winter activities as much as beach and summer stuff.

Hawaii is nice, but I think I would get island fever if I lived there. NJ is too congested for me.
