About This Quiz

All across the great US of A are states that mean something different to everyone. A state could be a home. Or it could be your favorite place to visit. Sometimes a state is just a place. When a state feels like it just fits with who you are, that could mean a couple of things. Maybe it means that's where you're supposed to end up and settle down. Or perhaps it's just a place that you are meant to visit over and over again and make memories. Maybe it just completely depends on what type of weather you enjoy.

Do you feel like you're original and you like to start trends that quickly become popular? Maybe Delaware is your spirit state. The place we live in and the place we feel connected to aren't always the same. A lot of times, the state we are born in is the one we stay in. But what if you didn't have to? You could find that one slice of paradise that makes you feel like you. The best way to figure this out is to travel as much as you can. Or, you can take this quiz, and we'll tell you which state matches your personality!
