    83.3% as well! :eek:

    I found the 'percussive'/drum sounds the hardest and the keys & strings the easiest.

    a very suprising 91.7%,

    but i wouldn't place more faith in this than i would an online IQ test, i mean -

    "Greater than 90% correct - World-class musical abilities"

    they've obviously never heard me play!

    I was pleasantly surprised I got 75% tbh, as I've never done any kind of ear training or anything.

    Got 63.9%.

    Were we supposed to answer whether they were both the exact same or whether they were in the same key or something?

    86.1%

    I'm amazed that a (very) novice guitarist (me) has the top score so far.

    I must have fluked it, seriously :)

    /edit: Never mind, I see one poster got 90+

    88.9% here. Had me paranoid that some of the bass notes in the samples were changing ever so slightly or that rythm was different. Interesting test though, if only theres one that helps develop knowledge of intervals recognisation or something.

    I got 86.1 on this.

    The UI on the flash was a bit naff so I'm blaming that. Some of the changes were pretty subtle but just sounded wrong.
