Same as me  Not tone deaf but close. How's your singing? Mine is great, it just comes out of my throat a bit rotten and everyone starts running  Which is, of course, no reason to not sing when I'm drunk, besides the occasional friends lost. | ||

Sorry, wan't intending to be a dick. Like monk said, I am a classically trained composer, so I should be scoring well on this kind of test as its very similar to a lot of aural skills testing that musicians do in college. Also its very likely that helps, considering the basic synthesis techniques that have been used from early games. The more familiar you are to these things the more adept you'll probably be at identification. Edit: ok, so I made a more concerted effort to actually listen, and scored %97.2. + Show Spoiler [img] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ifilTEn.jpg) | ||

I guess if singing and music were a core economic subject I would have been considered special. Seriously, I can't sing and can't play any musical insturment | ||

When I try to sing my voice doesn't sound to me like what it does to someone listening (to their dismay); this is independent of how good I am at recognizing music I listen to that isn't produced within my own body. I couldn't sing twinkle twinkle little star even half decently to save my life. I don't think it makes a difference. | ||

The more familiar you are to these things the more adept you'll probably be at identification. It's true, but it's also talent. I can play some random keys on the piano and my brother knows which notes/tones they were, just by hearing. I can't even hear if it's false or not. He can explain to me why Bach is so perfect mathematicly, many complex melodies on top of eachother. Perfect harmony. I can understand it, but I cannot hear why it's so perfect. Because I cannot hear it if those melodies together produce false tones or not. | ||

I would guess you are right, but it seems like many people link your abilities on a test like this with your singing abilities... that seems incorrect to me. Maybe being tone deaf in the context of this test can hurt, but I doubt that it's the only factor that contributes to why your singing sounds worse to you then to an observer. | ||

I played the flute all through high school, but was never that serious about it; I never practiced outside of school and haven't touched it since. I do listen to a fair amount of classical, though. I'll have my wife try it later, she took classical piano lessons for 8 years or so and always did well at competitions. | ||

But it doesn't work the other way around -- having perfect pitch won't make you a good singer. | ||

Being able to hear these rhythmic/harmonic or timbral differences really well, and being able to reproduce them with accuracy on your voice are somewhat different skills, though there is a lot of overlap (like being able to hear should help in reproduction, but I've known a lot of musicians who can identify these differences, but cant reproduce them vocally). What this guy is testing isn't whether you can sing back pitches accurately, but how well you can recognize the aforementioned changes. | ||

I'm starting to think this is like IQ tests, where the more you take, the better you get at them, even though you're not actually getting any smarter in general, just better at IQ tests. | ||
