+1 Been playing since I was 7. Bass, Violin, Cello, Piano. Cool to see other kids running around with superpowers.
Meh I thought this was a better test Perfect Pitch Test - a quick game to test your musical ear
Mostly because it's purely your ability to match pitch and no memory use required. (or maybe because I got 100% correct
)

As per the website
So yes, musical memory is a part of the test. But how else would you discriminate the patterns?
Turbo your test assumes that the listener knows how to read music.

Well not necessarily read music but, yes, have a little bit of musical background. I can't really read music but I know scales. So for me the test was just going "la la la la" until I matched the note from middle C....so still... just pitch. The lower notes were trickier because I would have to just find the octave above and sing it but still no "reading" just very hacky pitch matching.
Edit: I would be surprised if the other people that could actually perfect pitch match (and not just do a great round of musical simon says) would not have some sort of musical tinkering in their past. So I still think this a bit of a better test.
44.4% but I already knew I was tonedeaf as shit! Bad thing is this was using a $400 set of headphones as well and i still cant tell that shit apart.
