About This Quiz

No other part of the United States is more interesting or unique than the South! It's steeped in history and tradition, and it's impossible to grow up there without taking on some of a Southern state's traits. By the time you finish telling us about all the Southern things you have and have not done, we'll be able to figure out which of the area's states you call home.

But if you've found yourself sweating over a plate of hot chicken, you'll probably be able to tick all of the boxes. No matter how many things you have or haven't done, your answers are sure to give away the Southern state that helped shape the person you are. 

Do you have a jar set aside for chasing lightning bugs? Do you have a recipe for deviled eggs?
