Guest tandylacker Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 http://jakemandell.com/tonedeaf/ Go there and find out. I scored a 80.6%. I think I could have done better, but I didn't read the instructions and was caught off guard the first 2 sound bytes. My problem with it was I kept forgetting how each sound byte ended. Bad memory I guess. Anyhoo, thought it was interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest tandylacker Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Three 80.6% so far? Odd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 83.3 Doesn't it seem a little strange that everyone so far has been above 80%, which is what excellent musicians rarely score higher than? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street spirit Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Three 80.6% so far? Odd. it's out of 36... and if you take into account that nobody is completely tone deaf and nobody is going to be near perfect, it leaves you a range of maybe 10 scores? although everyone getting over 80, and that apparently being excellent musician range, is a bit weird... either that or i'm wasting my talents.

Sir Stewart Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 80.6%Same deal with the first two. I guess I didn't understand the term "musical phrase." I thought they were playing at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think I broke it. It didn't register a score for me. Somehow I was suddenly on trial 37 of 36. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 66.7% I thought it was going to be a lot lower. I have always thought of myself as tone deaf. Too musch time listening to the D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danelectro Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 83.3...interesting but seems like it tests more your memory than your intonation. Same score same thought. Those midi files are really cheesy and somewhat hard to hear, at least the subtle differences are. Most are just different patterns and are pretty easy to differentiate, others seem too obvious and are designed to trick you. That so many scored high tells me this test is akin to those inet IQ tests where most people score 130+. If you live in the same world I do you know that isn't possible.

Groo Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 91.7% "World Class Musical Abilities" Ego boost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tandylacker Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm going to re-take it until I'm perfect. Then I'll earn the respect of my peers that I deserve. 66.7%, really? I'm waiting for my wife to take it, she will give up before its over, I'm sure of it. They should have a test called "Can you keep a beat"... That would be a funnier one.
