J recently wrote a post (while procrastinating) about procrastinating through testing one's typing speed at www.typeracer.com, and after a few go's at it and semi-breezing through at 135WPM (I was #3! haha...) (and yes, I sound semi-conceited) I wanted to find a sight reading test for accuracy. I couldn't find one, so I settled on looking for one to test my perfect pitch.
I found this site, and although it's not a good measure to test how perfect my pitch is, it was pretty ... interesting, to say the least. http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/tunetest/dtt.asp
Essentially, the site plays 25 different well-known tunes, some accurate and some distorted, and you have to identify whether it is correct. As I was listening through them, I seriously cringed when I heard just one wrong note, let alone 10s of them throughout the test! I almost can't believe that people can't hear how wrong the note is, but that's just my superiority complex kicking in. I kind of want to know what score you guys get on it, both the typeracer and the tunes test, but if you think I'll judge you for low scores or whatever, then maybe you shouldn't tell me =P Either way though, these tests are great procrastination tools :)
But really. I want to know! Take and tell!
*Edit*
New one!!!! This one's FUN :D See how closely to the Hz you can tell pitches apart. http://tonometric.com/adaptivepitch/
Wait. This one is more fun. See how musical phrases can be translated into shapes and colors!!!
