I was 60% Yankee and 0% Upper Midwestern. Seems like I need a few more years here.
Strangely enough, they didn’t even list the term I’m familiar with for ‘water fountain’: ‘bubbler’

I am 60% General and 25% Yankee
For the toilet paper question, I have
no idea about it and randomly picked one.
Strangely, even though I have spent 7.5
years in Champaign, I got very minor
midwestern/upper midwestern impact based
on this test.

General and Yankee count 90% of mine (75% and 15%, respectively). Need to ask Linda about the toilet paper one:-)

Proving that Xiaobin is the most American of us all.

75% General, 20% UpperMidwestern, 5% Yankee
Hmmm…I’m definitely more Uppermidwestern than Midwestern. Does this mean I’m supposed to come to Michigan too?

In a word, yes!
I see Xiaobin is still the winner as the most American, pending data from Meg, of course.
