Scored 75% - pretty much smack in the middle of the bell curve. Not too bad- some of the sounds that are used can throw you off a bit, though.

I scored a 75 as well, but had kids yapping while I was trying to listen


If everything has a point, well then I must have one, too.

I got 64.7% (but i always new i was tone deaf),

But that test seams to me to be more of a memory test than a tone test...

Plus i think it is something that you learn.... I can tell when my guitar is out of tune now, where i couldnt 6 months ago, and if i have a starting point (low E note) i can tune it relatively by ear. and get it almost dead on by the electronic tuner....

But interesting none-the-less

83.3%... and I just picked up my first instrument a couple weeks back! My playing isn't anything great yet... but I can already tune it pretty good by ear.

Average is now 73.9, and I got almost a full 10% higher. =)

That's the same one I posted a few days ago ... it's a neat test. I got 94.4% ... after 46 years of scrutinizing music, I really should have got 100% though.
