Music IQ test

[Lloyd80]

I was watching YouTube a video popped up on my feed. So I naturally had to go and test myself.

https://www.themusiclab.org/quizzes/miq

I got 105 overall. Not too bad. What score did you get? 

PS best listened to with headphones.

This was through my phone speaker. Pitch was my worst scoring average across participants. Did better in intervals and beat alignment.

I am completely average - didn't need to take test to find out out though

I started having flashbacks to A level music aural tests 😰

118. Pleasantly surprised

 

[BreadBin]

A bit annoyed that I picked the wrong one on the tuning test a few times - it's counter-intuitive to have to pick the bad one I feel.

[stewblack]

I found the out of tune singing easier than the others - I'd assumed as a bassist it would be the timing I was best at - but no! The out of tune singing set off a physical reaction, I actually recoiled at the bad one. Got one wrong, but frankly they both sounded dreadful!

3rd test (beats) stopped and wouldn’t progress. Ended up refreshing the page and it started the whole thing again. 😡

Cheat!

Ouch!

This was bad, I expected something easier. For a bassist (I thought so), the beat alignment got really bad, 98. Melodic discrimination was made by piano, no thanks, 117. Only the mistuning perception felt good, scored 149. Overall 121. It is time to start to listen to radio and play. Radio helps my timing and is much easier to listen than any metronome.

That's a very good score. 

[sammybee]

111 overall, but got 127 on the beat alignment. It's a fun quiz

@stewblack: Thank you, and maybe, but the deviation was bad. I think @Doctor J did better, because the deviation was smaller. His package is better in control.

I only got 102. Mainly because I kept clicking on the wrong answer.

The out of tune singing was easier. The wrong note piano would have been better if you could hear the examples a second time.

A second time would of def made it easier. I did the best on the out of tune singing too. Being a drummer my timing was atrocious 🤣

[PaulWarning]

Don't know about anybody else but the on the timing test the beat is way to loud compared to the music, 

[Oopsdabassist]

 

113, above average it seems, I'll take that! Worst on the mistuning section, which figures if you've ever heard me sing!!!

Failed at pretty much the first hurdle.

I couldn't get the age box to open and the test wouldn't let me proceed without that information.

[BlueMoon]

I quite surprised myself with a score of 120 (as well or better than 90.88%).

Feeling  proud and wanting to share this using a screen-shot for you, I scored a fat zerooooooo in my computer skills.

Hey ho!!

[PaulWarning]

93, doesn't surprise me, I constantly get things wrong in band discussions, hell , our guitarist even told me I was playing one of my own songs wrongly, and he was right 😡.

I always say I do quite well for someone with no natural musical ability 😄

To be honest, I wasn't too sure what to do at first. I just clicked on anything till I got the hang of it.

[franzbassist]

I got 111 overall, with mistuning 111, melody 110 and beat 113.

[bassbiscuits]

I got 121 overall - best on the beat alignment (127), then melodic discrimination (119) and then mistuning perception (116).

Better than 91.92% of the population - I'll have to up my fees....

Same here - that test should have been "Which one makes you want to punch the singer most".

Pretty much like gigging really.
