"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
It said I have a Boston accent. I've lived all my life in southern California. Pretty far from Boston. And the quiz did not even ask how I say "park the car," so how could they tell?
