I also would have thought I'd do a little better than that, but it was quite difficult. It would have been easier if the pieces were shorter, I think. My problem is not that I can't tell when something's off pitch, but that when that something is my own voice I have no clue how to change what I'm doing to get on pitch! Looking forward to the other tests though--particularly the associative one. Would love to see his data regarding years of musical training & the various measures. It's not a random sample, but I would imagine it's been passed around enough to be a fairly good range of people.

Which doesn't correlate to my actual real-life musical experiences. In college chorus, I was placed behind my section as my pitch was usually quite accurate. So I don't know ... maybe it was the kids running around in the room behind me while I was taking it. Yeah, that's it! ;) Well, I also got a 90% on the Associative one, but I was really terrible at the other two, somewhat below average.
