These tests are pretty challenging!

This tests your musical memory, and it takes about 5 minutes. I got a 72.2%, so I'm just a "normie".

But I kicked ass on the pitch difference detection test:

http://tonometric.com/adaptivepitch/

I was able to accurately detect differences of 1.05Hz, which is 0.45Hz better than what was needed to enter their top category of "World Class".

Beat that, deafies!

this had better be work safe

91.7% Correct on the first one. (tops)

2.4Hz on the second. (outstanding, not world class.)

<SPOILER ALERT>

Am I nuts? I think that the final phrase of #33 on the tonedeaf test is different. So does nearly everyone else.

= Justin, 86.1%/1.2hz

91.7% correct on the musical memory. I am mad that I did not get 100%.

0.675 on the pitch identification.


Does anybody have a test where they play a sinewave, and you have to type in your guess as to what the frequency is? That's the test I'd really like to take.

Great find, Stewie. This might break me of my Scrabble habit.

I was sure I was going to fail so miserably that I'd decide to sell my gear and just by an Xbox or something. I mean, I can barely tune my guitar by ear or figure out chord changes in a song.

Tonedeaf: 83.3%, VG performance.
Adaptive Pitch: 6hz, VG. At one point I was up around 1.5, but all that beeping...

I kinda think this thing might be broken. I am not very good; I am Crap.

EDIT: I'm listening on some sort of fairly nice AL PC speakers.

88.9% on the first one! i think i'm cheating though, i'm mostly just listening for the highest and lowest notes. those weird 80s sounds are probably all the ones i got wrong, some of those seemed practically toneless.

.975 Htz for the second one

i kept getting like 2 wrong in a row, never just one?! anyone else have the same problem?

normal on the first one.

i can reliably differentiate between two tones 0.7125Hz apart.

hooray, i can tune my guitar, but can only barely tell the difference if i play two different things back to back.

86.1% after two lagers and the phone going halfway through.

2.4Hz for the other one.

That was on Beyer DT231s, I shall try again on AKG 240DFs...
