Can't say I'm shocked by the results
That's HILARIOUS!
My most were Boston, Worcestor, and Providence, and my least were Pittsburgh, Jackson, and New Orleans.

Ft Wayne, Grand Rapids and Rockford. Grew up near Ft Wayne, went to college near Rockford.
But, I have consciously changed the way I say a few things, would be interesting to see what the new result would be.
Update:
I changed a few things (and had some different questions) and got
Scottsdale, Washington DC and Rockford.
All sensible, but at some point, w/ a dialect spread out this far, it's not really meaningful to say I have any specific one.
Although I continue to be least similar to Boston area.
Where near Rockford did you go to school?

I got Salt Lake City, Stockton, and Spokane. Not even remotely close to either my own history or my family's history. But it was a fun quiz.

Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington. Calling them gym shoes apparently is a very Cincinnati thing to do.

My bottom three? Philly, NYC, and New Orleans of which I've visited none. Where do you end up? How similar is it to where you live?

My top 3 are KC/Overland Park (never been) & Jackson (want to say I rode through there once with my family). My bottom 3 are Minny/St Paul (never been), Detroit (only been to the airport), and Buffalo (never been).
