Are You Tonedeaf? Test Your Skills. While working at the music and neuroimaging lab at Beth Israel/Harvard Medical School in Boston, I developed a quick online way to screen for the tonedeafness.
It actually turned out to be a pretty good test to check for overall pitch perception ability. The test is purposefully made very hard, so excellent musicians rarely score above 80% correct. Give it a try! In our research, we were looking for neuro-anatomical correlates of tonedeafness (called "congenital amusia" in the scientific literature. We gave several dozen subjects a high-resolution MRI scan and used a statistical package to analyze the images. This technique, called VBM (voxel-based morphometry), has been used to study the changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer disease and many other neurological conditions. The test you are about to take was used as a screening test to roughly characterize patient’s pitch discrimination and musical memory abilities. Even though musical memory is strongly tested here, we have found that people who are tonedeaf tend to have normal musical memories. http://jakemandell.com/tonedeaf/ I scored 80.6% a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

I only got 75%.
I think it's because I got bored halfway through.  I stopped listening closely and then it just all fell apart. I have zero attention span. That thing was LONG man."I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

75%
ehh, I guess it's okay considering I'm not a musician, but that's only the 46th percentile. 
I wonder how Prince would do.... The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I scored 86.1%. I have a feeling I could do better if I concentrated harder, so I'll try it again later. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

i wish they would let you compare them twice. me too, and I agree. It's a test of concentration just as much as pitch. If they let you listen again it would be more about pitch and less about concentration. My Legacy
