jff Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I found this music tone test on another forum. It'll play you a short passage of music, and then another passage. You answer by clicking a button saying if the two musical passages were the same or different. I scored an 88.9, which qualifies me as someone with "excellent musical abilities." I don't know about all that, but I thought it was an interesting test, despite some of the cheesy computer generated music. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/IcerC/OnlineScreen.swf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm counting my 75% score in the "greater than 75%" category. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm counting my 75% score in the "greater than 75%" category. I took it a second time. I thought I was doing better than the first time, but I scored 11 points lower. Still in the excellent range, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 91.7% Correct. damn... why can't I play guitar for shit? edit: I think they're confusing "World-class musical abilities" with "you're able to listen carefully" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 85.3%.. Neat little test! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I don't understand what a musical phrase is, I guess. I was looking for a comparison between two pieces but basically heard one piece in each question... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 77.8% - Way better than I expected. I'm guessing the 50/50 chance helped me out a few times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I don't understand what a musical phrase is, I guess. I was looking for a comparison between two pieces but basically heard one piece in each question... In the passages (or phrases) that are different; there's a note or two (usually at the end) that is a different note than in the first passage. So for example; the first passage might be A, C, A... The next different passage is A, C#, A.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tweedling Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 83.3%!!!!! So Suck it!!!! Oh what?.....What's that? I wasn't the highest score?! Damn it! That was cool Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 I don't understand what a musical phrase is, I guess. I was looking for a comparison between two pieces but basically heard one piece in each question... There's a gap between the two phrases that lasts a few seconds. The musical phrases are either very similar or identical. The point of the test, I assume, is to measure your ability to detect subtle tonal differences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'm with Moss--77.8%. I wish there were a way to go back to the ones you got wrong and hear them again. I was so sure my answers were right in most cases. Obviously unwarranted confidence! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 80.6% Possibly a bit higher (or lower) in reality because at least a couple of times I inadvertently clicked the button I didn't mean to click (that'll teach me to try to move too fast through one of these things).

Sir Stewart Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think I invented slight differences between phrases on a few of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think I invented slight differences between phrases on a few of those. I might have done that, as well. After a ten or so, my mind started playing tricks on me. To complicate matters, some of them are harmonized, and the differences could have been in the harmony, rather than the primary melodic note(s). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrNo Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 88.9%. I'll take it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
