I have been busy this weekend with a two-day Iron Wire seminar (which is turning out to be one of the most interesting and esoteric experiences I’ve had in 32 years of kung-fu training), so for tonight I’ll just leave you with an engaging little diversion. It’s an online test of your ability to perceive and remember musical tones.
A tip: pay attention! Here it is.

Rats. 88.9%. Just shy of “exceptional.”

That’s about where I came in too, and I’m a musician, and have spent 30 years recording and mixing. So don’t feel bad.
I never got any wrong by saying they were the same when they weren’t. In two cases I thought the same melody was being played in different voicings (i.e, using the same notes in a chord, but in different octaves). Must have been fooled by the harmonics in some of those synth sounds they were using.

Pitch perception problems or attention deficit
Can’t say I’m surprised, really.
Sorry… it’s tricky!
No, seriously, if there’s any scientific basis in this, the results don’t surprise me.
Not only am I tone deaf, but I am wont to have the attention span of a fruit fly.
