I don't know why you would say that. It looks like most of the people who have posted in this thread report better than average results. For example, if I remember correctly my score in the adaptive pitch test (.825 Hz) was reported as being the 86th percentile, and there are others who have posted better results than that.

Granted, there is probably some response bias as the people who score well are probably more likely to report their scores than the people who score poorly. Nevertheless, the results certainly don't suggest that "we all suck at listening to audio."

Tone Perception = 86.1%
Adaptive Pitch = 2.0625 Hz
Rythm Perception = 88.0% Correct

I got bored halfway into the test, haha.

 

[Gaughtfried]

Tone perception=69.4% Correct
Adaptive Pitch=4.8hz
Rhythm Test=84.0% Correct

Got this using a new outta the box pair of headphones. Not bad, I say, not bad.

 

[diff_lock2]

the same-different ones always sound different so i gave up too lol.

 

[infinitesymphony]

Tone: 97.2%
Pitch: 1.2 Hz
Rhythm: 96%

I'm eager to try the pitch test again on better speakers... I did the tests with onboard sound + Logitech X-230 computer speakers.

 

[majkel]

Tone: 72.2% Normal
Rhythm: 68% Very Good
Pitch: 0.675Hz Exceptional

Unlimited repetitions in the pitch test help much

Feel free to use it!

"Just curious--how do you know what the answer key is?"-----Febs, the answer key was at the very end of the result pages. I got my score (89.9) and continued to press the next arrow, which displayed the bell shaped distribution of scores and finally the answer key.

 

[Pianist]

tone perception = 77.8%
pitch perception = 1.35 Hz
rhythm perception = 92.0 %

I did the test, listening to my Shure SE530s connected to a built-in PC soundcard.

 

[Kahuna]

Mine are as follows:

Tone perception = 79.8%
Adaptive pitch: Reliably differentiate 2 tones to .9 Hz apart
Rhythm perception = 80.6%


(I should also add that I am married, and practice selective hearing when necessary!)

I listed earlier that I had the following results:

Tonedeaf: 86.1% - Very good performance
Pitch: 0.6hz - Exceptional Ear!
Rhythm: 84% - Outstanding Performance

I think it would indeed be fair to reveal my age. I am 20, so still quite young. I imagine that would contribute to my ability to pick out differences in two difference pieces of audio.

 

[Assorted]

Pitch: 0.1875 Hz (twice), 0.375 (thrice)
Tone: 86.1% (best one out of 3 trials)

Rhythm: 64.0% (best one out of ten trials)

... the rhythm one is so, darn, hard. My equipment was Yuin PK2 out of my laptop Realtek on-board audio + 200 ohm resistor to keep down the buzzing.

 

[Citrous]

86.1% Very good, tone
3Hz Adaptive
84% Rhythm.

I played 15 years of jazz saxophone growing up, I'm a little let down with myself. Time to get back in practice.

 

[kevhuynh]

69% on tone preception - Normal
didn't try pitch
84% on rhythm - Outstanding

31 years old. First try on those two.

Man, you jazz musicians and your rhythm. Maybe I should listen to more jazz too, I just don't got that fire in me
