Visual Music Test

Jake Mandell, who brought you the tonedeaf test last year, has another musical test called the Associative Visual Music Intelligence (AMVI) test. How well can you associate a musical sequence with a visual shape? It’s not easy! I scored in the 70-80% range in the several parameters measured, which is supposed to mean “excellent”. Link -Thanks, Jake!

Interesting test. I scored 75% overall. If we weren't allowed to replay the sounds, I probably would've scored much lower. It took a few listens for some of them before I figured out the pattern.

I too got 95% - it's all to do with narrowing your choices from the ones given. I can't remember the one I got wrong, but there were quite a few I had to replay the sound on before I felt confident enough to click.
Still - good fun.

I don't know, I'd rather not do this. My synaesthesia is feeling a lot more restricted than it was before, but I feel that it will be worse if I try to match my synaesthesia, or use to think like, a certain person's own opinion of these sensations.

I don't think it's really synesthesia-based, nach. The symbols only really represent things like the pitch of the phrase (an upward arrow as the pitch rises) or two sounds played together (two symbols overlapping). To base such a test on synesthesia would be next to impossible, as it would be different for everyone.

I got a 90, but seeing as Frank is the only one who scored lower than what is considered "high-normal," I'm thinking this thing might not be as hard as it says it is.

I got 95...

Bean, it only matters if you actually are synesthetic, which I sort of doubt you are... the symbols don't have to match the music, you just have to remember that each symbol represents a different melody...and varies each time. It doesn't matter if they "match" or not. After all, for most of us, no melody sounds square...or triangular.

I didn't really understand it. Were we meant to match the music to the symbols using logic, or our instincts, or just what we thought best represented it? This is kind of like the scoring they use for experimentalism, but really basic. I didn't finish the test in the end, it just got on my nerves (and I'm usually really good at music... )

Let's see: for the scoring there's three categories that basically mean GREAT, one for NORMAL, and one for GOOD TRY.

Wouldn't want anyone to feel bad for scoring poorly on an abstract internet test.
