No, I did that on my first go.

Music IS involved, but because of how the test is structured you could easily guess all the right answers without hearing the music.

The point is that you do it first go, and there's an obvious music correlation.

but after that I got them all right!

too lazy to copy over all scores, but i got a 90% overall

also, an interesting thought: most of you seemed to get worst in contour discrimination, but it was my best section... hm. weird. (maybe it's because of the ones i missed at the beginning, but i'd like to think i have a certain musical quirk 😉 ) : Contour discrimination: 91.6% (

lol i beated you 🤣

Or maybe we're just musical geniuses. :P

I got it right away, and got nothing wrong. Definitely genius. 😎

Pitch discrimination: 82.6%
Musical memory: 83.5%
Contour discrimination: 91.6%
Attention: 83.9%
Musical/visual abstraction: 78.5%

Second go through:

Musical memory: 100.0%
Contour discrimination: 95.2%

Same score! Either it's a big coincidence, or that might be the limit.

Pretty badly at the start, then I figured out over time what meanings they were giving each symbol and I got most of them correct from that point. Average score overall.
