A fun test to check if you are tonedeaf.

http://jakemandell.com/tonedeaf/

below 55% you can consider yourself tonedeaf.
Excellent musicians seldom score above 80.

My brother who can play everything from Bach on the piano scored that.
While poor little me only scored 58% lol. Seems he stole all that dna from me the bastard

Some of those feel really hard just because of how long the phrases are.

I recall doing this a while back... maybe there was a thread?

I tried it and of course the phone starts ringing during lol... I didn't need to get the phone but it threw me off! I think it helped that I recall doing this type of test before: 75%.

61%, Although I'm sure most of my mistakes came from me thinking there was a difference.

wtf, 83.3% O_o And I've done nothing with music, just started playing guitar recently.
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

zzzz... my gf just hit 86.1%

And I was laughing at her when she tells me she hates visiting lectures where the profs have "weird voices" ... I'll try this tomorrow myself. :o

It's what the test said somewhere.
Maybe you just have a hidden talent :D

Haha I like the survey. "before you get to see your score please fill this in." And then one of the questions read. "what was your score on the tonedeaf test". How do you even do that mistake?

Edit: Looks like my score was 75%. Decent I guess.

I was like half paying attention and scored %91.7. Also, a few of these examples sounded like they were directly lifted from older games.

This reminds me of those people who "never study and always get maximum grades because of how easy it is." You should be a bit more humble... even on the internet lol.

Ha! Now I can tell my mom that I'm *not* tone deaf! Most of my problem was actually attention. I'll have to try it again when I'm not so sick and can focus...
Are you satisfied getting by with just enough? Or are you ready to start trying?

Aye lol, I wish we could see a list of recent results to see how many of those 90+ results are actually there
On the other hand, maybe we gamers are more adepted to computer tones?

25 years old, 16 years of guitar, 11 years of piano, and a shit ton of ear training since I was ten. I like that they make you guess what your score was before showing it, because I was so unsure of many of them that I guessed that I got 75%.

I think many people could get 100 if their audio is good enough. Also, you can't just listen to the melody, some of them had the bass line held for longer on the second clip even though the melody was the same.
