Are You Tone Deaf?
Saw this one the other day, but had to wait until the hubbub died down and I could actually get into the site, and also until I really had some time to try this out. Test your musical skills in six minutes, and find out whether or not you are tone deaf.
Developed as a quick test for tone deafness at Beth Israel/Harvard Medical School in Boston, it also tests musical memory. The author notes that "The test is purposefully made very hard, so excellent musicians rarely score above 80% correct." I'll agree, it's really hard, and I didn't expect to do very well, but I managed to score 91.7%!

So give it a try, and see if you can beat me. I'm sure that most in our family will do pretty well on this, since we're all pretty musically talented.

Not as good as Mike, but pretty good
Thanks for sending the link to the tone-deaf site, Mike. That was really cool. I didn't do nearly as well as you did -- only 80.6%. But that still puts me in the excellent musical abilities category -- yay! I wish there had been a way to go back and check and see which ones I missed.
