you only have 3 seconds to identify the note

I freaked out on a couple of them, so I didn't get them all correct

here were my results:

6/9/2008 2:53:50 PM

lol nice

what does that box mean anyway

also I like that little outlier on the bottom right

6/9/2008 2:54:38 PM

so does this mean you're a rock band vocal expert?

6/9/2008 2:56:13 PM

I can't sing for shit lol

6/9/2008 2:59:40 PM

i think it's the idiot box

6/9/2008 3:00:18 PM

i failed miserably

6/9/2008 3:17:29 PM

LOL

I feel so privileged to have such an impractical talent

6/9/2008 3:18:30 PM

lol

everyone take the test and pick random notes and see how well you do

there are 80 tones played in the test, so it takes about 5-6 minutes I think

6/13/2008 12:19:42 PM

i'll take it in a min

i've been trained enough to have great relative pitch but i suck at the whole absolute pitch thing. i'll try it later though when i have time to concentrate

6/13/2008 12:25:49 PM

I must have missed more than I thought I did, I'm not as high up as I wanted

the pure tones are kinda weird sounding tho and take me a few seconds to register, and you only have 3 seconds

6/13/2008 12:55:17 PM

lol someone else take the test lol

6/24/2008 1:19:27 PM

I have no real knowledge of pitch as far as i have never played an instrument and have never had any training. So i didn't even know what each of those tones should have maybe sounded like. So i was guessing the whole time. I was pretty much stuck basing it off of whether i thought it was somewhere higher or lower on the scale.

That said:

Pure tone score
8

Piano tone score
8.25

with that score, i am amazed that i can pick out what numbers someone dials by the tones on the telephone.

6/24/2008 1:32:34 PM

6/24/2008 1:34:06 PM
