Hmm, well I stopped at the second song from the example one. I think tests like this should not assume that the listener knows those songs. Also, if the listener knows those songs the test shouldn't assume a perfect memory of them. It tests the sense of pitch, not how well the listener remembers those songs. I mean without even knowing those songs, one only can guess by giving a no answer to those songs that contain a section with an unexpected or unfitting dissonant note. If the notes are fit to the song, dissonant or not, there is no way of noting that the song was played correctly if you haven't heard the original song multiple times in the past or just right before listening to the test ones.

- adyrhan 11y agoThat's my point. You can't really know if they are correct. You just guess, if the notes are fit or not to the song. We could argue that what really tests is the listeners ability to recognize dissonant notes if all songs in the test don't have dissonant notes in them. But then its not a pitch sense test. There was one other test that I took that I see more accurate than this one: http://tonometric.com/adaptivepitch/ http://tonometric.com/adaptivepitch/ This one measures how little a difference of pitch can you note. It starts with a difference of 12hz, and ask you to tell if the second tone is lower or higher in frequency than the first. When you have answered a few of them correctly, it reduces the difference of pitch. I remember I was able to recognize differences of 0.75Hz before I started to fail to answer correctly.
