Laugh, but its weird, at 8 or 9, it can be, depending on the population.
You have to have really clear results to get the "reject the null

No argument there.
But still, my point was that wiring up a couple of cheapish mics with a
coathanger or a dummy head isn't quite rocket science :-).

I got 26/30 and 27/30 which means I am "Joe Median" according to the
histogram (which I thought I'd post a link to):

hmmm... I scored 26 & 26. Halfway through the second test I lost the
will to live (boredom).
My eldest daughter is now doing it.
I'm interested to see what she scores as she has near perfect pitch and
performs in choirs, orchestras etc, whereas I'm an old rocker who can't

Well, with your scores it sure is just a test of your memory! For
people with a severe form of amusia it is not, as their memory works
perfectly

Yeah, that's a good exa
I scored 26/30 and 30/30 for parts 1 and 2. It strikes me that this is
basically a test of memory rather than musical acuity. The fact that
the "tunes" are so dreary doesn't help. Like Sean, I started off
listening out for much more subtle differences than were actually
present - this probably acc
