Default Try the BBC Musicality Test!

BBC labs has a very fun test for your musicality at;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/labuk/experiments/musicality/

Well worth a go. Takes about 20 minutes. Apart from the normal questions about music, there are a set of test scores where you have to tap to the beat with your spacebar, determine if the been sound is in line with the tempo, determine whether two successive tracks played at different pitches are the same piece or not.

Pretty fun and nervosa inducing at the same time! Gotta be honest or the non-test bits are meaningless.

For the record my results were

Enthusiasm for Music - HIGH - 90%
Musical Perception - HIGH - 98% (this is the part with music tests)
Emotional Connection - HIGH - 100%
Social Connectivity - HIGH - 76%
Musical Curiosity - HIGH - 96%

Matching the beat test - I got 15/18 correct
Melody Memory test - I got 10/12 correct

Even better, depending on your result, the site actually has music programme recommendations!
