Are You Tone Deaf?

Find out in six minutes! I scored 77.8%, but on my laptop's tinny (and tiny) speakers, this may not be a true number. Still, it was better than I expected.

I earned 55.6%. But I have an excellent excuse.

And 22.8 (Possible Picth Perception Deficit) on the pitch test.

Yeah, my hearing sucks.

Hearing impaired, and I got 72%... but my problem is that it seemed like some of the musical selections were really long.

I took the adaptive pitch one, too, and that was a big surprise... I can reliable differentiate a 3.5 Hz tonal difference - not bad considering my hearing loss (my loss is actually not across the board, but on a bell curve, so I should have more trouble with this than I do).

ooh, i'm kind of annoyed that i only got 83.3%. i'm supposed to have musician's ears!

Funny, I got 77.8% too.

Hm. I scored 83.3% on the first test (they are sneaky buggers...same melody but different chord structure underneath...I noticed it but they still managed to fool me sometimes) and I can differentiate between tones 1.65Hz apart.

Interesting. I can differentiate tones 1.35Hz apart, but can't remember the tonal sequences of the tonedeaf test enough to finish it.

Okay, this is going to sound like sour grapes, but I don't understand how that's a tone deafness test. It's more like a memory test to me, because on some of those you have to remember a ton of pitches and what order they're in. Especially some of the more random ones that don't have a tonality ... I feel like I have one of the best ears that I know of, and I only scored 72.2%. When I listened through the ones that I missed, I still disagreed with some of their answers ...

Oh well, whatever.

I don't get it. 88.9% on the tonedeafness test, 72% on the rhythm test and the 0th percentile the first two times on the pitch test. The third time through I used the replay *a lot* and came out sub-normal (28th percentile).

There's supposed to be a correlation between pitch perception and rhythm perception... guess that doesn't hold for me.

Personally, I think Guitar Hero is to thank for my two high scores...

Cool, I also got 77.8% on the tone deaf, 68% on rhythm, and 0.825 Hz on the pitch test (74th percentile).
