also, they picked the worst possible click sound to use for testing beat perception

This is more of a producer’s test…a “which take would you use”, where neither is perfect, but one has a better overall feel than the other.

I work as an arranger and songwriter, I'm a multi-instrumentalist, music was my major, and am known for having very, very good relative pitch and I only got 115. Some of them were quite hard, you really have to concentrate. There are issues with this test, and it really only tests within western musical concepts.

That third test, i could definitely tell when tuning software has been used to manipulate the vocals. You can hear the sampling issues as well...and digital "slurring"

I do think it should be noted that whilst this is a very interesting watch, it’s by no means a serious “musical iq” test by reliability. Music isn’t decided in ability of transcribing Melodies. There’s more to ear training. And musical ability also does not end at ear training. Technique, composition and simply an innate musical conception and understanding are components that are not to be understated

4:34 - 5:02 How I imagine bad piano teachers listening to their students play.

I guess it's being hammered as I get so many "disconnected from the server" that it's like operating through treacle and not worth getting to the end. Was able to try 3 types of challenge anyhow

These tests feels like how people who don't really make a lot of music THINK musicians work. It's like in those weird music drama shows where everyone is focused on getting all the notes right and faster than everyone else for status or whatnot. Just, this test is so superficial 😂

I got 117! I’ve been taking piano lessons for most of my life, I’m in chorus during the school year, and beginning last school year I’ve begun taking voice lessons as a class.

How is this a music test? This is just a memory and relative pitch test

I got 112. I also had low beat alignment and melodic discrimination, mostly because the melodies were wacky and I couldn't remember them! You win.

It's a very flawed test, for sure. It's not testing what it claims to be testing because it's introducing WAY too many variables without any warning. It also starts samples before you're ready.
The melody test is a MEMORY test, and without a total center before each melody, it just becomes hard to calibrate between them.
The rhythm test doesn't take into account swing, push, pull, or anything like that.
The tuning test uses a TON of super indie stuff where being out of tune is sometimes part of the style, especially when the accompaniment is SO LOUD and DISSONANT.
I got 126, but the few I got wrong were either because I was distracted by it telling my results for the previous question, or because of a stylistic issue.

Got everything correct in the tuning test. Score: 149. (I wonder if this is the highest possible score, or if how fast I answered each question also makes a difference.)

Got two wrong in the melodic discrimination test. Score: 124.

Got one or two wrong in the beat alignment test. Score: 115.

Overall score: 130.

Strangely I feel like I did better in the beat alignment test than in the melodic discrimination test, but I still got a lower score. Maybe it depends on how supposedly "easy" the mistakes I made were...

I actually paused the video right at the beginning to go take the test because I didn't want to spoil it for myself!! I got 114, not bad for being out of music school for over a decade!

for being a jazzhead, I was surprised with your face expressions whenever you encountered dissonance, I found myself smiling and bopping at dissonance and seeing the ick in your face made me wonder If something´s wrong with me

the instructions for the second one should have said “in which of these are the beeps clapping on the 1 and 3?”

I've played trombone for about 12 years now and that test just seemed absurd! Someone else made a comment about a non-musician making a music test based on how they think music works and I completely agree. I got a 103 for anyone who cares
