I guess it shows that amount of being tone deaf is mostly about the talent you are born with.
While practice can make it even better, I don't think I can ever reach 80

Also, if you reach 80+ you will post your results here.
If you reach 60- fat chance you won't

Another 86.1% . Diamond league here too, I guess.

Looking at the stats after the result page, it looks like the average is 73%, so I guess the thing about talented musicians is just to make people more relaxed about their score / influence guesses about their ability.

As for people redoing - I'm sure I could get 100 if I "properly concentrated" since it tells you the answers afterwards. :p

It's also interesting to see that only 23% of people got no. 33 right (I didn't).

91%, shoulda been higher, I didn't really understand the quiz for the first few questions lol.

Zzzz 80.6%, although didn't realize until the very end when I started noticing too many of the same melody but different timings that the timings probably didn't matter...

63% or something, despite many years of musical training from elementary though high school (though it's been 5 years since I touched an instrument)....

I always did know my natural pitch perception was quite poor, and my singing is bad too, so not really surprised how low I got.

I think if the test was conducted using traditional orchestral instruments I would have scored higher. I guess people with better natural ability and/or more training can adjust to hearing the abstract electronic sounds.

ps. I really hate to confirm the stereotype, but I was a violist...

What is the relation between how you do on a test like this, and how your singing is? 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.

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.


It could affect your ability to be in tune. What I would expect is that someone scoring well on this test is that they would recognize easily if they are off in pitch when singing something or singing alone with something.

However, this says nothing about their ability to correctly adjust pitch and get back to singing on key. That has a mechanical aspect. You can know you are out of tune but not have the coordination to be able to adjust and anticipate upcoming pitches correctly.

It also says nothing about your technique/tone/resonance. You might be wonderfully in tune but be singing in a raspy, nasal tone.

75%

I think I missed a lot of them because I was only listening for the melody.

83.3 % , I guess I had luck.

I can't make any differences between " good " and " bad " earphones for example and I have shitty taste when it comes to music ( that doesn't mean I can't hear but still ).

And I agree with all the " the long one are hard " , especially if they are the same ...

83.3 for me. Also as I was going through the quiz, I felt like some of the songs were from like Zelda and Mario games a bit. Then I read here that someone else thought the same haha.

I got 75%. I don't know how I feel about this test, I have perfect pitch and can easily identify any note you play for me. But this test tests more than just that, a huge part of it is memory alone.

Was still fun to give it a try. ^_^

Got 70% with cheap earbud audio in a room with TV playing in the background. I think using a 1000$ noise cancelling headset would make this so much easier .

Edit: 0 experience in playing an instrument.

75%. I had no clue what I was doing. Just sort of listened to the two and if one seemed wrong I mashed the red button. I think I have pretty shitty hearing tbh when it comes to music.

I think it depends on how much you focus lol, I actually did pretty bad but I have perfect pitch. Maybe it's a memory thing :x

Wasn't paying attention -> 66%. Paying attention -> 77%... I think it's about memory imo.

86.1%. It's weird because I play the drums and haven't done theory extensively. Think I also could have done better if I wasn't on my shittop, but thats not really an excuse :p
