Is it just me or did anybody else think those sound clips sounded like something out of a final fantasy game?
I got 83.3%, too....

I also took the pitch perception test and can differentiate pitchs at 2.1 Hz.

Somebody beat that!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Whilst also 83.3%, I was differentiating pitch at a level equating to the 87th percentie (0.65 hz). Just done again and the tones were higher pitched, I managed to differentiate to 1.65 hz - so not quite as good. The test is limited in that it is a 50/50 guess when you're not sure.

I got 86.1%, but I did get interrupted by a phone call part way through. 🙁

Thanks, this was fun. I only scored 83.3, I'm a full time musician, I could probably transcribe and notate everything in the test if I had to. I just had a few placements in your music competition if you want to check out some of my entries. I retried the test because of a few distractions and I did worse.

Point I'd like to make> is that the folks here that scored well, with all that natural ability for musical memory, what are you doing with your lives??? You have a god given talent.

I had to work hard to establish the relative pitch that I have to rely on. I'm proud of the fact that I'm able to do well as a musician and keep working, it's lazy a*&h*&^s that don't do anything with there ability that just piss me off. Unless of course you cheated and looked at the answers, then you're just total wack jobs.

thanks but i'm an amateur musician which gave me some advantage i guess. i'm used to listening hard and playing "spot the (musical) difference". i dont suppose there is any point in repeating the test though, it probably works best first time around.

I got 86.1% the first round, and 94.4% the second round a few hours later. it probably depends on whether your problem is hearing the melodies, or remembering them. in the first case I doubt there will be much difference later, in the latter there should be significant improvement.
