Fun Little Music Listening Test

Hey all, was linked to this fun little music listening test on Fark. it says stuff like 'can you hear/see shapes' when you listen to music, but really all the test is doing is seeing how well you can hear changes in pitch, separate instrument music from each other so you can hear a particular instrument, etc.

Have fun! Link: http://www.dumb.com/musicvisual/

Here was my score after the second try when I found out what was really going on.

Total Score: 95%
Pitch discrimination: 91.3%
Musical memory: 90.1%
Contour discrimination: 95.2%
Attention: 95.7%
Musical/visual abstraction: 93.9%

Being a euphonium/baritone player in both middle and high school helped a lot dohoho.

But it's on a website called dumb.com, so I would not place any value on this at all.
