Hi everyone,
I thought this might interest some of you. It's a test to see how tone deaf you are.

I got 80.6%. As drummer that must be a good score!!

I think it must have given me the wrong score.

This was fun! Thanks bishk99,
I scored 61.1%...I think I scored better on the ones that were shorter.

80.6% also...that's weird that 3 of us got 80.6. Maybe that's the frank black baseline. My son spoke to me a few times while I was taking it and I had to resist the urge to yell at him!!

all though it might seem like there´s lots of evidence to the contrary, there´s no such thing as tone deafness, only a refusal to listen carefully enough. Music is 95% listening.

That may be so Newo but what's important here is that I successfully avoided work for a whole ten minutes whilst taking the test.

Because I mispelt disappointed? Or because despite many hours of aural exams in my youth, I'm still apparently musically retarded?

72.2%.
The site says that's normal, but then it also says that I'm only in 32nd percentile (meaning that 68% of people who take the test do better than me).
I already know I'm colorblind. Now possibly tone deaf. |

I always misspell 'disappointed'. I even misspell 'misspell'. The funny thing was you and your "best musical taste on earth" or whatever you said

I think musical taste and note-recognition are two different things. I still have the best musical taste on earth, I just hear it differently to you.

| apparently so...although I would blame it on ADD and a short attention span more than tone deafness. |

I also got 80.6. I don't think the test is completely fair, but whatever. It's an internet test, after all...

I am just searching through some of the older threads (because I am through with spring 07 semester...woohoo!) and this one was fun so I wanted to comment so others can enjoy it.
my score was 64.4 I knew I was tone deaf. too many ear infections as a child. I agree some of the tunes are long. This is why I zoned out on a couple of the choices. it was fun anyway.

88.9% tone deafness, 96% rhythm, 1.05Hz pitch - but i'm blaming the headphones for that last one... and the parents for the missing 4 and 11.1

| I got the same score as the acorahs, PixieSteve, and edbanky. 83.3% correct. At one point, I got really distracted and forgot what the first one sounded like - who knows, maybe I could have done better if the circumstances were different. I would like to have done better. |
