    83.3% Correct! :D

    That was a nifty little thing, nice find!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    83.3% as well! :eek:

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

    I got 75% too.

    greater than 75% correct: excellent musical abilities

    Hell yeah!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭HemmingSay


    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.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,842 ✭✭✭steveland?


    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?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    :D You were meant to compare first with second and decide if same or different!

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    yeah i figured that out after i kept gettin eroor message saying "please wait for the second sound to play"


    oops

    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%. Took me 3 till I realized that it was 'same as the last question'. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭fish-head


    Another 83.3% here. Cool test.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 603 ✭✭✭shatners basoon


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭The Free Man


    88.9 too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,013 ✭✭✭SirLemonhead


    83.3%

    I got bored and rushed it though :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


    I'm a little dissapointed with my 75%. I was expecting to do a little better:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,578 ✭✭✭jimi_t


    86.1% - Pretty good, bit long though. Got musicthing(ed) there recently as well


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Maliyah Fit Strawberry


    I got 80 something when I took this a few weeks ago... it was 2.30am and I was exhausted though, maybe I should give it another go sometime


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,204 ✭✭✭Kenny_D


    75% as well

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 286 ✭✭!_Brian_!


    88.9% here too. Cool test


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 630 ✭✭✭MagnumForce


    75%, fair enough, i got a little confused with a few questions when someone kept trying to talk to me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    80.8%


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    on a link i recieveed today i done it again and i got a more respectable 86.1 good times

    woohoo BOOBIES


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,579 ✭✭✭Pet


    83.3. Good find. Musical memory is handy for learning by ear, but it doesn't take into account pitch accuracy or rhythmic accuracy. So I wouldn't get too worked up if I did badly on that test, interesting as it is.

    88.9, woot. Also had the paranoia about the slight variations, you just gotta close your eyes and feel your way through it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭kawaii


    86.1% Correct

    that's with my little sister shouting in the background aswell...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,627 ✭✭✭The Freeman
