I just realized I don't know high from low (anymore)... I started the pitch test and failed to ID a huge difference! Obviously I can hear a 100Hz or some such difference but more often than not I wonder which is the higher note. When I got the hang of it, I managed to get under 3Hz but I still had some trouble guessing which was the higher note so I couldn't test what intervals I was actually able to hear.
My old music professors would be proud. :) I never cared for keys and stuff and got chided for that but still... I assume someone would have noticed if I had an actual hearing disability. More likely, this is the result of many years of not giving a damn about high and low.

I did very well (or so it says) on the rhythm test although I was thrown off initially by the nature of the test as well as by some unmusical samples.

These tests seem very strange to me. Maybe they're aimed at people who share a certain background.

Tone perception : 66.7%
Pitch perception : 21.6 Hz (is this good or bad?)
Rythm perception : 72%

I'm deaf completely on my left ear...only my right ear works

Tone perception 83.3 %
Adaptive pitch1st55.2 Hz
2nd 1.575 Hz
Rhythm test84.0 %

With a year drumming and two à three years electric bass. High and low was a problem for me when tuning my guitar, when without a tuner. My second try where i took some time (but no second listeinings) was way better luckily: no possible pitch perception deficit.

Since I have a poor memory I decided to take each test a few times to familiarize myself with the tracks. After a few tries on each test I got:

Tone: 94,4% Exceptional Performance (failed on #25 and #33)
Pitch: 0,525 Hz Exceptional ear
Rhythm: 96,0% World-class performance

Test equipment:
RME DIGI96/8 PAD soundcard driving a pair of Sennheiser HD650 .

As I suspected, tone and rhythm tests seems to test your musical memory more than any musical skills. Pitch was impossible to get right once I had to perceive differences down to 0,1875 Hz, and even 0,375 Hz was really hard to get right.

Oh well, after all is said and done I still can't hear anything above 18,500 Hz.

.0375 on the pitch test. I wonder why it seems to be so much easier for me than other people?

I did pretty bad on pitch and avg on others, but I have very noisy environment. Will try to do it with IEMs later. And having tinnitis probably doesn't help much with pitch test, lol.

With IEM's pitch went from 20 to 1.5, tonedeaf went to 85%, rhythm 90%. /shrug rhythm kind of high. Weird.

Beat that! (lol)

Just my ATH-A700's out of my Denon PRA-1500 from my computer.

edit: Seriously how are people doing so good on the pitch test? It just gets to a point where they sound exactly the same to me and I just guess. Hmm, I'll try my speakers.

Tone was 75%, I think I need something better than integrated laptop speakers.
Pitch was .675 HZ, and I hurried through that one.
Rhythm was 64% again, worse than I expected.

I'll have to try this again later with proper headphones once I've forgotten this session, I bet the improvement will be pretty good, beyond just remembering the tests.
