Are you tone deaf?

[Over The Hill]

You correctly identified 24 tunes (out of 26) on the Distorted Tunes Test. Congratulations! You have a fine sense of pitch.

Doing well today- thanks to CC I also found out I have perfect colour vision.

26 for me.

I too have near perfect pitch, some days closer than others. I tested myself - before doing this test - (hummed what I though was a G, then I put in a CD of one of Beethoven's sonatas in G major: spot on, less than a quartertone out!)

Funnily enough, I thought some of the 'wrong' tunes sounded better, more 'interesting' than the originals. Perhaps this is because, for my sins, I dust the ivories myself, and the wrong tunes remind me of the way I play (or rather, fail to play) Rachmaninov...

how do you get 0??

26 out of 26 - another with perfect (ish) pitch. A bit culturally specific in places, I thought - so much so that there's at least one tune in there I just didn't recognise - but it was obviously wrong.

how do you get 0??

Wish I knew. Statistically, based on purely random choices, the odds would be about one in 67 million.

God save the queen?

Me too, used to have 'perfect pitch'.

Tone deaf perchance?

26 out of 26

 

[Rhythm Thief]

25. There was one I didn't recognise, perhaps it was a correctly played piece of avant garde jazz or something.

 

[Cubist]

25 out of 26. Perfect pitch here too.

Well we can't all be perfect

Thank you for taking the Distorted Tunes Test. More information about the the NIDCD's research into tone deafness is available from Dr. Dennis T. Drayna's web page.

Thing is I can't sing a note or play any musical instuments so no idea what that means
