BigRedX Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The genres thing was silly. IMO There are only two types of music, that which I like and that which I don't. I have deleted all genre information from the tracks in iTunes, because I have no use for it. Most of the music I like plays free and easy with standard "genre" features. Besides isn't the main feature of Hiphop rap-style vocals? Since none of the clips had any vocals on them none could have been hiphop.

RhysP Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I was incredibly surprised to go onto the website to take the test only to find that I've already done it. I have absolutely no recollection whatsoever of doing this test before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmsheep Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Enthusiasm for music - 96% Musical Perception - 99% Emotional Connection - 100% Social Creativity - 95% Musical Curiosity - 98% [sharedmedia=core:attachments:108134] Then we get to the practical stuff - Oh dear!!! grouping of music - not too brilliant - was convinced that the 4 groupings were Jazz, Classical, Reggae and Rock!! At least I got all of the rock ones right!! Match the Beat - did OK on most of those (as has been said previously, how "off the beat" could things be but still be on the beat?? Tap to the Beat - Did well on this, mostly (I say mostly as I sort of got bored after a couple, improvised, and put in some runs and fills where I felt the music needed them!!) Melody Memory - 8 out of 12 - not bad!! Edited May 16, 2012 by wmsheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Enthusiasm for music - 95% Musical perception - 99% Emotional connection - 82% Social creativity - 96% Musical curiosity - 99% Like others, I was quite surprised that I didn't score higher on Emotional connection. Then again, I do see that music doesn't rule my world like it did 30 years back, so maybe the results show some old git relativism on my part. Like some others, I was bewildered by the music styles, thinking they meant classical, jazz, reggae, hip hop, pop and rock, whilst still giving me only four groups. Maybe I read the instructions poorly, but I gave the slightly off-beat examples the OK, thinking that it was OK enough for a test like this. Wrong! I was very disappointed with my ability to compare the piano tunes, and felt I was more lucky than I deserved. Happily though, I will live. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
