Surprised myself because with many years on and around the flight lines, years of shooting and a few early years thinking the way to play guitar was with a wall o' amps - I now have consistent, and insanely insidious, tinnitus in both ears. (PLUS I had to do twice - I clicked away by accident before score came up in IE first go around).
However, not claiming it's anything better than about "average" in this crowd!

I'm not sure I would improve if I took the test again. Many of the examples use intervals that were unexpected to me - that is, not very 'musical'. I also find myself being picky about the crummy MIDI playback that was used!
Maybe I'll try it again and try to take off the picky-hat.
Listened again this time, trying to ignore the weird sounding instruments. 69.3%
I think there's a bit of an issue with the next test beginning immediately following the previous after you hit a button. There should be a pause. Particularly since there are some tests which use the same instrument in successive tests. It becomes hard to discern if the previous test is or is not part of the overall sequence of notes.
The test is purposefully made very hard, so excellent musicians rarely score above 80% correct.
That's for the text on the page.
I would add that the fellow who put it together is admittedly an "electronic music" aficionado, and his provided sample patches are stuck on only those kinds of sounds. In other words, many musicians might just achieve higher scores with the same note patterns played on instruments that they might have more familiarity with, horns, pianos, etc. As it is, there are a lot of harmonics involved with his chosen samples that are reminiscent to me of the greater difficulty involved when first attempting to transcribe Hammond Organ Jazz, where added partials and harmonics serve to disguise tonic centers at times. Anybody who ever "enjoyed" puttin' the needle back again and again on a Jimmy Smith recording knows what I mean here. *grin*

So don't take your results to heart, this "game" is worth what you paid for it.
Someone wishing to develop their musical ear should work on taking musical dictation, starting with the simple one-line short melodies and the key given, and work up from there. Sofaggio - the old Do-Re-Mi, sight singing simple lines is still the quickest way I know to get there. Instrumentalists should learn to SING and/or whistle that which they play, not just expect the instrument to make the noise for them. Once you can sing it, you OWN it. Rinse, Repeat.
Since listening to Metheny three decades ago, buy "his" Roland GR-303 Midi Guitar C(look-a- like)...subsequently locked into the synth scene, where over the years I've bought and blasted away on various sounds...soft and hard...these 80-year-old ears have suffered from percussions from music and concussions for playing halfback! Four wives bellowing out like Wilderbeast didn't help me arrive here to talk about it. What did you just say??? Listening to alot of this music in the early 50's didn't help, much I guess...but I still enjoyed the heck out of it!! Thanks Jimmy et al!! https://www.youtube.com/watch? Jimmy Smith cushioning Lee's solo is as mellow and creamy as sex in the early morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edJjOg103ks
88,9 % correct, but I must admit I guessed at certain times of the test ! A new test could find me better or worse than this figure shows !:))
After my Cerebral Haemorrhage I asked the psychologist who had me take a test ( to show what areas of the brain/ memory had taken damage) how she possibly could know if I had had a lousy memory before the accident or not, she dryly answered.......we have our averages !

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
