The Tonedeaf Test

[Instrumentalist]

Tonedeaf Test: Test your musical skills in 6 minutes!

I wonder if you even need to be musically trained to score good on it.

88.9% - Musically trained, and I listen to a fuck ton of music.

 

[Ookie]

72.2% - Home piano lessons, listen to alot of music.

I thought I would've been atleast somewhat tone deaf.

 

[Andrew Scherer]

80.6%

no musical training

 

[bogdan147]

88.9% with no musical training but I listen to a lot of music. I always thought I have a good musical ear

 

[SirKonstantine]

60.1%

3 years of saxaphone classes in middle school which tought me that I'm pretty much tone deaf lol.

 

[Kiopa_Matt]

61.1%

Well, that explains why learning tonal languages is difficult for me.

 

[Cystomatic]

69.4% Correct

Fuck. No years of musical training though, so meh.

 

[dmnEPC]

that test is fundamentally flawed. Its more a memorization test.

69.9

 

[jryan54]

no music training

 

[quintana]

88.9%

Self taught guitarist. Listen to a lot of music.

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

72.2% - I used to beat box in elementary school.

 

[mituozo]

91.7%, played clarinet & sax to about grade 6 standard, self taught electric guitar, but not played guitar for over a year now, and clarinet/sax since ~17. Did grade 5 music theory too, and I'm listening to music most of the time.

I was naturally pretty good at spotting errors in music when listening to tracks, singing scales, etc..

 

[zimok]

88.9%, no musical training. Tried it again to see if I could get 100% and I got 86.1%.

edit: tried a third time, 88.9%, still can't get the coveted 100%

69.9

I also thought the same thing

 

[.Hack]

100%. I use to play piano when I was younger and self taught guitar but I don't play neither anymore for years. Also I listen to music basically all hours I'm awake and use to sleep with headphones since I was like 6 because my tinnitus ringing is annoying. Another thing to take into consideration is I have an obsession with patterns so that's probably why I got a high score regardless of "music knowledge".

 

[Fiver]

86.1% Correct.

1 year or so of guitar training but I've always thought I had a pretty good ear.

Yeah I do wish there was an replay button, so that memorization was less of a component.

I bet this was everyone's face when taking the test.

[juntao65]

Lol why am I not surprised, I has a memory deficit. 55.6%

Though I never played any instruments, and I only listen to music as a way to drown out ambient sounds. I could listen to a song 100 times and never actually "hear" it.

91.7%

I'm a 100% self taught guitarist with no formal training aside from some theory and jazz appreciation classes. I agree that it's more of a memorization than anything, but you still have to hear the subtle differences in notes and tones to answer correctly.
