A university conducted a study on tonal abilty, they came up w/this short six minute test. I don't know how much merit it holds, but it's fun nonetheless.
Post your scores, I scored 70.6.

Wow I got 91.7 also :D
I saw Kings and smokindogs massive scores and tried it again, except with headphones. It helped me me pick out the subtle differences. I scored an 80.6 this time. Pretty impressive fellas.

I did this once before and got a 94.4, I believe.
All my life I wanted to be somebody. Now I see I should have been more specific.
There's another thread with this kicking around somewhere with a great big discussion about how useful it is. I personally think it's more of a memory test than anything else... but then I did score very badly :wink:
91.7 sucks too because i second guessed the ones i missed,
oh well anything over 75 at 48 years old with all the loud rock shows i've been to...
#4491....
70 on the pitch one, 60 on the rhythm one.
I'm pretty 'normal' ;)
I started, but it just annoyed the hell out of me.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?
