I tried this. Apparently I'm more musical than the average person! It's good fun to try.

I tried it. Interesting results, but I couldn't see any overall rating that compared my results to an average or anything like that, so I wasn't sure what my results really meant.

I scored

Enthusiasm for music - 73%
Musical perception - 99%
Emotional connection - 64%
Social creativity - 58%
Musical curiosity - 99%

But I have no idea where this puts me compared to an "average person!"

enthusiasm - 95%
perception - 90%
emo - 100% (lol)
creativity - 33%
curiousity 89%

was a cool test I don't know how accurate it is... I like how i got 100% for the emotional section though I don't play any instruments or do anything with music creatively so no surpise I was pretty low on that.

Also I done pretty well in all the tests apart from the memory one which I got exactly 50% on.

By average, I was guessing that's it's anything over 50%, but that's possibly completely wrong. It was fun to do though!

Enthusiasm for Music - 96%
Musical Perception - 99%
Emotional Connection - 64%
Social Creativity - 63%
Musical Curiosity - 9% (lol)

The curiosity score was probably to do with the fact I've never been to a live gig and never want to. Wouldn't say I'm not open to new music though - I'm always looking for new music on the internet almost everyday, and I'm not too fussed about genre, although clearly not as diverse as some people.

I wish I was creative with music, but sadly for me I wasn't blessed with a creative mind . I can't properly play any instruments (I used to play the drums for a short time) but I do know a decent-ish amount of music theory, and I can pick up melodies, chords and beats etc.

I don't get out much or have any friends either so I don't get much opportunity to discuss music apart from on forums like this, and thus I can't take part in group activities with music.

I scored quite high on tapping out a beat, and recognising changes in pitch. I pretty much failed on the first two, though.

OK, thank you Internet goblins and gremlins! Got in eventually...

Musical enthusiasm 99%
Musical perception 99%
Emotional connection 100%
Socail creativty 72%
Musical curiousity 14% (D'oh!)

I think I arsed up the "tap to the beat" though --- I misinterpreted that to be tap to the rhythm, so only tapped when the drumbeat was on. This seems to have been wrong.

Oh well, a relatively good score, nonetheless...

I already play Acoustic & Electric Guitar, do DJ Mixing and have released 3x Demo's. 25 minutes doesn't need to tell me how musically creative I am
