Thermionik Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Go here (and please do it): http://www.tonometric.com/ Test your ability to hear musical stuff, Tune, Rhythm and Pitch - and please do go there, because it is for science as well as making you feel cool about your own abilities. Me..... doh - mister average: Tonedeaf = 77.8% Normal-Very Good (nearer Normal) Rhythm = 72.0% Very Good to Outstanding (nearer to Very Good) Adaptive Pitch = 2.1Hz @ 500Hz Normal to Very Good (nearer Normal) And I have to say, I am less than happy about the results. So it's off to practice and listen and learn for me - you'ld think after 45 years playing I could do better.
Thermionik Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 Hmmm - works fine for me (about 7min after you posted). You need to follow the O/S instructions and to have a recent Flash installed - and I found a good pair of cans made it easier to hear too. Persevere - it is a real eye opener - or should that be ear?
jefleppard Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 i have just finished the test, recieved my grade and subsequently threw all my gear into a pile in the backyard and set it ablaze. once the fire is out, i'll limp downtown to the munincipal HR office and beg them to give me a job as a garbage man.
Johnt Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Wouldn't have been so bad if I could have seen the buttons! Not tone deaf,but haven't time to do others now will do them in the middle of the night when the dog wakes me up!
Thermionik Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 . . Come on guys - this is for (neuro) Science - you don't have to post your results, or even tell us that you have done the tests, but you could help make the world of medicine better. And you might surprise yourself too..... . .
albertjohn Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Pleased with the musical tests but did really bad on the rhythm test. I did write down the scores but I've now lost them. Then my 12 year old did all 4 and blew me out of the water. He got 100% on that audio-visual test. I didn't even understand the questions!! "Stwike him vewy wuffly Centuwion!"
TommyK Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 The link also takes you to the appropriate landing page, then jumps to a Google page as if it's a bad address. Quickly clicking one of the link buttons gets you to a stable page Took the 'Tone Deaf' test. It asked what my 'Tone Deaf' score was in the final questionaire. It didn't give me a score.?!?!? Wierd.
pig140 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Ok, I took it....here's my results in the name of science. Tonedeaf test: 80.6% Rhythm test: 72.0% Adaptive Pitch: 2.4Hz Visual test: 85.0%
Thermionik Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Good results pig - impressive too that you did the shapes thing - I couldn't get my head round it at all ! Come on the rest of you - no need to tell US the results, but help the scientist by doing the tests.
gearbasher Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks a lot. Now I feel like "Tommy". Deaf, dumb and blind. This is me:
TWilson Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 compared to PIG, I'm Helen Keller!! My father wears two hearing aids and I think my ears are definitely of the Wilson side of the family. What???( Know why Helen Keller couldn't get a driver's license?.......................................She was a woman.) (sorry GG)
Taylor Player Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 compared to PIG' date=' I'm Helen Keller!!
