That was fun!
I scored the other way round from Terry, ie 27/30 then 28/30, so better on rhythm than pitch.
I find it hard to even imagine what amusical people are hearing.

Hi Terry,

I must have missed that. I wasn’t entirely free from distraction at the time, but that’s not always a prerequisite for me missing things on screen. Perhaps I’ll do them again just for the fun of it.

As for my last last sentence in the previous comment….the research, of which these tests form part, is into amusia. Presumably anyone who scores 0/30 in both categories qualifies as having the condition. You clearly don’t fall into that category.

When I went through the two tests, the next screen to be displayed showed my score at the top.

Didn’t get the last sentance in your comment…

Terry,

I must have missed something as I didn’t see my score at all. I mistakenly thought from the your wording that you’d somehow gained access to all the scores. Anyway, it’s clear that you aren’t amusic!

Sorry, I just copied the score from the page. So, it’s actually my score. (I take it you scored the same?)

Dare I say this is rather amusing?

Hi Terry,

How is that you know my score when I didn’t? How did you get on?

Took the test:
You scored 28/30 and 27/30.
