Musical Perception - Medium 69%

You scored medium for perception, which suggests that you have quite a good ear for music in some respects, but there are areas where you are less confident.

Your scores in the musical tests will give you a good idea of where your specific strengths and weaknesses lie.

Musical Curiosity - Medium 71%

You scored medium for music curiosity, which suggests that you are open to exploring some new music, but may prefer to listen to the genres and artists you are already familiar with.

You probably rarely, if ever, attend events just to experience live music, but may enjoy going to see familiar artists perform.

I scored three out of four on three rows, Pop, Rock and Jazz.

Nine out of eighteen, ai yai yai....
