Just saw this on another forum, and thought folks here might find it very interesting.
It's a unique hearing test, that tests musical memory and tone deafness. The test takes about six minutes. Don't click on it unless you're ready to focus on it without distractions. You only get to hear the two phrases in each set one time, so you have to pay attention. As far as the results go, you can't have a second first chance to take it.

Have fun!
(FWIW, I got an 86.1 the first time I took it, but I had a lot of stuff going on around be. The second time, I got a 94.4.)

Wow...I really really sucked! 66.7 percent!
I never did that great at dictation anyway, and when I transcribe a Balkan piece I have to listen to it a billion times too!
I have no aural memory, I guess. My musical successes are due to both visual memory and kinetic (muscle) memory...Also, due to having aural skills teachers who were less than supportive, I think I second-guessed many of the examples.
My non-musician boyfriend got an 88.9!

Thanks for posting the link to this test. It was great fun! I only got 88.9 %, but had people pestering me for my attention while doing it, so will try again at home tonight, where I can create a hassle-free zone.
