I took this test and got a 75%. I really thought I had done much better.
It plays 2 musical lines, one after the other, and you have to decide if it is the same line repeated or if the 2 are different. There is a fairly interesting ananlysis of how you did at the end.
So how did you do?

Which sucks because I’m a musician and I thought I had a better ear than that.
Some of the samples were tough for me to pick out because of the particular type of sound file it was.
I’d taken it thru a Sweet Adelines message board where it was stated that Baritones and Arrangers tend to score higher than others - I’m neither and I got an 87.4%
**newcrasher ** - do you sing?
86.1% and I’m willing to be that most of my misses where ones that were the same, but I marked them as different. I think I was trying to listen for much more subtle differences then there really were.
I play guitar and sing in a choir. When I play guitar, I am not scared to accompany myself, but I am no great singer…
…why do you ask?
63.9%
Some of the samples were beautiful.
88.8%, and there was one I knew was different but hit the wrong button without thinking. :smack:
I’m happy. I thought I’d lost more hearing than that in the sweaty, cement-floored concert halls of America.
Musicians tend to score higher than non musicians, and singers tend to score the highest among musicians
83.3% Correct
86.1%. I know it’s supposed to be hard, but I’m disappointed in myself! (I’m a music major and got an A in both semesters of ear training, although it’s been a couple years since then.)
86.1% Correct. I think I overthought a few of them, but that was harder than I thought it would be.
77.8 and I am not a musician at all. However, I do hang out with a lot of musicians so I may have devloped some over time.
83.3%
I kept wanting to say “umm, play them again!”
dangit.
Only 72.2%. I have to say I’m disappointed with that.
Apparently I suck…
77.8% and same here.
There were more than a few where I couldn’t remember the first one when it came time for the second.
On the cool side, I was correct on the one that only 22% of people get right.
83.3%. I can live with that.
I came in here to test my musical ass. Anyone got that website?
83.3% when I took the test a while ago. BTW, there are 36 samples, so that score is 30 right out of 36.
In a couple of the samples I could hear the difference by the third or fourth note of the second version of the sample.
Another 83.3%
