How Musical Are You?
BBC Experiment thingy.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/labuk/experiments/musicality/
It takes like 20 minutes and it's pretty boring so you probs won't do it but I did and if you'd like to be bored further then here are my results.
My enthusiasm for music is 98%
Musical perception 35%
Emotional connection 64%
Social Creativity 33%
Musical curiosity 96%
In the test scores;
I only got the rock section all correct in the first test :(
14/18 in match the beat
6 highs and 3 mediums in tap to the beat
And I only got 6/12 right in the melody maker bit
Bore me with your scores in return.

I'm not taking 25 minutes out of my day just to convince DiSers that I'm a musical genius
I didn't know it would take so long when I started it
It's bullshit anyway as the percentages are just based on you answering questions like 'I REALLY LIKE MUSIC LOADS, YES OR NO?' but I was interested in the little tests to see how rubbish I was at them. Pretty rubbish as it happens.
Tapping along to a beat?
Do you need a microphone?
No, just your space bar
The BBC have already assessed me!

I've frequently been called a much taller, much less attractive
Judy Garland. So, very.

Results = I AM NOT
I was going to do this yesterday, but then you have to register/sign up,

Cats

We're like blood brothers!
Got 100%'s all round
I rock
that was fucking mind numbingingly boring. MIND NUMBINGING.
i got "High" for everything tho.
i have to say, those "tap to the beat" rounds were utter bullshit.
theres no way you can hit the space bar at the right time.
so
My enthusiasm for music is 99%
Musical perception 100%
Emotional connection 100%
Social Creativity 99%
Musical curiosity 99%
They were a bit naff.
It appeared that the pulsing blue blob was out of time. And whether in a 3/4 if it wanted you to tap every beat.
That was pretty hard/boring.
My enthusiasm for music is 67%
Musical perception 56%
Emotional connection 41%
Social Creativity 26%
Musical curiosity 65%

Got fuck all right in match the fucking songs or something.

Motherfuckers. My whole office saw me skiving too, because I had to put my headphones on.
Ok results
Enthusiasm 67%
Perception 76%
Emotional 19%
Social 22%
Curiosity 96%
Grouping: Got all my rocks together
Put 1 hippity-hop with the jazz and 2 hiphop with 2 pops.
9/18 on matching beat, so scattergun there.
5 high, 3 medium & 1 low in tap the beat
Only 5/12 on melody memory
I scored HIGH in everything.
Which is suprising, considering I'm completely self-taught and haven't had any lessons since learning the recorder in year 3, which I hated.
Enthusiasm- 98% (Suprised it's that high, when I heard 'Brother' last week.)
Musical Perception- 99% (Suprised, as I thought Diversity were JLS for a good 9 months.)
Emotional Connection- 82% (There's only so much emotional connection you can have when listening to Rapeman)
Social Creativity- 88% (I avoid talking about music with people who look like they might enjoy Kasabian)
Musical Curiosity- 90% (Wot? I don't even have spotify premium)
Musical Tests
Can't tell the difference between pop and hip-hop. I thought there was a 'Latin' section. :S
Match The Beat - Pretty spot on once I got used to it.
Tap to the Beat - All high bar a couple of mediums. Felt like a mental tapping my spacebar though.
Melody Memory - Got a couple near the beginning wrong, before it working out it was easier to listen if it were off-key. (I also would struggle to recognise former Blazin Squad member 'Melo-D' should he appear behind the counter of my local Spar.)
My scores
Enthusiasm: High 99%
Musical Perception: High 99%
Emotional Connection: High 89%

Musical Curiosity: High 99%
Test Scores: Got Rock and Jazz correct, misplaced one Hip Hop and Pop 2/4
Match The Beat: 16/18
Tap To The Beat: High High Medium Medium High High High Medium Medium High *though I have a feeling me waiting to get the beat to music I hadn't heard before hindered the results*
Melody Memory: 10/13
I don't need to do a test to know the answer is 'not at all'.
you really, really dont want to take that test. really.
As if anyone cares...
Enthusiasm: 96%
Musical Perception: 99%
Emotional Connection: 76% (Not sure why this is comparatively low. I have a ridiculously strong emotional connection - perhaps it's because I don't use music to shape my moods, consciously anyway).
Social Creativity: 96%
Musical Curiosity: 94%
Test Scores: Rock 4/4, Jazz and Pop 3/4, Hip Hop 2/4
Match The Beat: 17/18

Enthusiasm for music - 99%
Musical Perception - 99%
Emotional Connection - 100%
Social Creativity - 80%
Musical Curiosity - 90%
Described me fairly well i guess (apart from how high the percentages are). Where I am most lacking is definitely social creativity, but I make up with it with enthusiasm
Got 2 Hip-Hop mixed up with 1 pop and 1 rock
13/18 on match the beat
Tap the beat - 4 high, 4 medium, 1 Low
Melody Memory - 10/12
What this suggests to me is that I think more of my ability than I can actually achieve
Perhaps they should make a test that involves
Notation perhaps? Modes? Counting rhythms, keeping time for extended amounts of time.
love that
