Test a variety of musical skills

As far as I can tell, this link was posted back in 2006. Since then, there are a lot of new members on the Board and there may be some additional tests. The tests are relatively short and fun to take and can give you some insight into your pitch difference recognition, rhythm recognition, and musical pattern recognition. Enjoy:

(My scores were all pretty much in the high end of the normal range.)

That was pretty weird, but also pretty cool.

I got a total score of 90%. My lowest was 83.1% in contour discrimination and my highest was in Musical/Visual Abstraction, where I got 93.2%.

I got 90%.

My highest was contour discrimination at 91.6%
Lowest was attention at 87.1%. Is it telling me i have ADD? Can't i file suit agi... oh! a shiny penny!

That was neat. I'll have to pass that on.

Don't miss the other tests linked from the page I posted. There is one that tells you how good your ear is for intonation, another that plays various rhythm patterns to see if you can discriminate (subtle) differences, and a similar one for melodic patterns (it says it is a test for tone deafness). They're all fun, as well.

The intonation test tells me I can only discriminate differences of 2.7 Hz at 500 hz. Maybe I shouldn't blame the trumpets for tuning issues after all.

...Nah, it's still their fault. I've been sitting in front of them for so long, they've damaged my hearing. [frown]

Fun! Interesting!

My overall score was 90%. I scored highest on the abstract part. Go figure.

Very interesting! My total score was 95%. Highest score was 97% with musical memory and lowest was 89.2% with contour discrimination.

I guess that means I can memorize a piece no problem but I can't tell the difference between crescendos and decrescendos! :-)
