Not from Kansas, but it’s not far off either. I bet its idea of a St. Louis accent is based on the old St. Louis accent that is common among older people but very rare among anyone under 50. Although there were no questions that asked about “fork” versus “fark”, “fourty” vs “farhty”, “soda” vs “sodee”, etc. It may just not have much of an idea of that dialect built into it
Not on the quiz of course, but one major difference between MO and IN is that “Hoosier” is a positive term in IN but a pejorative term in MO.
Once upon a time a bunch of people from Indiana moved to Missouri, and apparently they were not well liked. So hoosier is like the MO equivalent of calling someone a redneck

We use the same words. I wonder what differentiates from IN which is actually right for me.

I’m not sure Hoosier is positive but more like neutral in IN. I’m certainly not attached to it.
Fair enough, I was mostly thinking of like the Indiana Hoosiers. I imagined it is similar to how cajun gets used in Louisiana
It probably depends on the part of the state?
