Nope, not by IP.  I filled it in from my adopted home of Mackay, Queensland, and it still nailed my background.  Very interesting.
 
the questions are a 1 answer thing only, it all depends the answers could be 2 answers or something else.....the final map is reddish over half the lower 48...though MN is dark red with some other spots (WI & NY)
so I guess it was pretty accurate for the couple vague questions.
 
there was no questions of place asked for me, though went through several questions.
 
About This Quiz
 
Most of the questions used in this quiz are based on those in the Harvard Dialect Survey, a linguistics project begun in 2002 by Bert Vaux and Scott Golder. The original questions and results for that survey can be found on Dr. Vaux's current website.
 
The data for the quiz and maps shown here come from over 350,000 survey responses collected from August to October 2013 by Josh Katz, a graphics editor for the New York Times who developed this quiz. The colors on the large heat map correspond to the probability that a randomly selected person in that location would respond to a randomly selected survey question the same way that you did. The three smaller maps show which answer most contributed to those cities being named the most (or least) similar to you.

Did you answer any questions about a specific place? I was wondering because it asked the exact name of a certain place on my survey.

Interesting, it asked me what I called a drive through beer place. :)

it asked me about the drive through liquor store but in your previous post I assumed you were talking about a place like city/state, not a store.
