Anyone get over 80% in any category?

[Elavro]

I just did the test and I got:

enthusiasm for music: 92%
musical perception: 98%
emotional connection : 57%
social creativity: 76%
musical curiosity: 78%

[thenickmeister]

That's really cool. I got 95% for enthusiasm, 99% for musical perception, 82% for emotional connection, 86% for social creativity and 98% for musical curiosity. No idea what any of that means!

[Bytor1974]

I got above 90% in every category besides emotional connection, 70% for that

98% Musical Perception

I got 100% on the Melody memory

Oddly enough on grouping genres I didn't have the same type of music twice in any of the groups. (I don't think I was thinking in terms of the varieties of music they had in mind)

[SuperTbass]

My score came out to:

enthusiasm for music: 92%
musical perception: 99%
emotional connection : 89%
social creativity: 67%
musical curiosity: 71%

[Essen]

enthusiasm for music: 97%
musical perception: 99%
emotional connection : 57%
social creativity: 78%
musical curiosity: 59%


I thought emotional connection would be higher, and perception a lot lower.

[pbass337]

Match the beat: 17/18 correct

Tap to the beat: 5 at medium, 4 at high (guess I need to work on my time!)

Melody memory: 11/12 correct



Very interesting experiment!

[onosson]

If only I loved music more, I'd be in contention!

[ToadWarrior]

Enthusiasm for music-100%
Musical perception-98%
Emotional connection-93%
Social creativity-78% (Not surprised here, I am a pretty shy person.)
Musical curiosity-98%

Group the music I did meh on, quite a lot of crossing over, I got jazz and pop almost all right, but rock and hip hop crossed over quite abit, I think this part of the test was kinda dumb, but w/e.

Match the beat I got 4 wrong

Tap to the beat I had 2 mediums, 1 low, 6 high, I don't really know what to think about the mediums, when doing the quiz there was only where I felt off.

Melody memory annihilated me though, I broke 50% by one question... Weird cause I thought I was getting pretty good at learning by ear, I guess not.


Interesting test anyway.

[ThoDamned]

Enthusiasm For Music - High 99%. I'm glad
Musical Perception - High 99%. Oh good!
Emotional Connection - Medium 70%. Could be better, but aight
Social Creativity - Medium 59%. True. I'm not so creative, and also pretty shy...
Musical Curiosity - High 90 %. Very curious!

Overall i'm very glad with the results. I've been playing for a couple of years. And often i'm insecure about my skill level, even though i know i'm being too hard on myself

[plangentmusic]

The questions tend to be one's personal opinion of oneself.

The musical genres are subjective. One beat of pop or rock? Come on.

Got 100% on the rhythm but they should say if you should tap on the quarter or on 8th notes.

I missed one of the examples on the metronome part, SO THEY SAY. I felt like the band wasn't really syncing with the click, but that may be my being more fastidious than they were expecting.

The memory test was good. I missed one of those. (Damn, hate that).

[Melik]

Enthusiasm 99%, perception 99%, emotional 57%, social 59%, curiosity 29%. Interesting
